Our Mission:
There are so many people putting energy into reporting the evils of our world, but what if we had just as much individuals putting energy into reporting human compassion? Our mission is to do just that, but to donate a penny for every good action we witness.
Why:
Looking at our world leader we see no hope, only greed and corruption. Some where along the way people stopped valuing human life. Some where along the way human causality became just a group of number: ten dead here, thirty over there. Global humanitarian crisis have become so bountiful that most have lost all hope in charity, except to write it off during tax season. Most citizens of our planet have learned to zone out all these problems and rather focus on day to day survival. Poverty, starvation, corruption have all become inevitable. It hurts me to think about my brothers and sisters in distant lands going to bed with an empty stomach, when pounds of leftovers are sitting in my fridge. What hurts the most is not seeing all the problems facing us, but the hopelessness in peoples eyes. If we are weak today, we can be stronger tomorrow, but if we are hopeless today, we will remain the same tomorrow.
