We have all heard it before – North American’s and European’s are the wealthiest in the world. Just how wealthy are you in comparison to 6+ billion people on this earth? The Global Rich List shows you just how skewed the distribution of income has become. Enter your income and you’ll see how you rate. Try $50,000, $20,000, $8,000. This is a real eye opener. It should make us realize that we in North America live in untold abundance.

Thursday, December 14th, 2006Nata Village
Saturday, October 28th, 2006It has been over six months since I first heard about Nata Village. A vlog by world traveller and producer Jon Rawlison on Rocketboom first gave me notice about this village in Botswana that is struggling with AIDS. Jon setup a blog that allowed the AIDS education and prevention efforts in this small village to reach the global community. The Internet can be used for good and bad. This is one of many examples of good.
The blog has regular updates and photos from the village. Donations for the work in Nata can also be made on the site.
Blogging can spread the good news
Saturday, October 28th, 2006The ability of anyone to blog opens up new possiblities of sharing the Good News. Everyone knows somebody and they can be the sphere of influence in their lives.
Help the Invisible Children in Uganda
Wednesday, April 26th, 2006Three young film makers went to Uganda to make a documentary. They came back with a story to tell and a promise made to the “Invisible Children”.
Invisible Children is a grassroots effort to create awareness and provide help and education to the children in Uganda who are being kidnapped and forced into the rebel armies as child soldiers.
You can make a difference by joining the Global Night Commute on April 29, 2006 or by purchasing the Invisible Children DVD and showing it to everyone you know.
These two video clips will have an impact on your life and what you can do to help: Proof and 100 Percent.
