There's an Easy way to Raise Billions for Charity! kaioo.com

When all of you join the Social Community kaioo, charity donations of US$ 2 Billion are going to be generated. kaioo donates 100% of their advertising revenue. You decide which charity organisations will get the money. But kaioo is not only a great way to raise generate money for charities. It is a great place to connect with your friends and find new ones.

Every Social Community lives off the user. Of course, they invest a lot of brains and esthetics - not to mention sleepless nights - into giving you an engaging platform. But at the end without you they have nothing but thrown-out money. You are the capital. You are the marketing and the marketers. You are the prosumer.
And you are truly phenomenal. By joining network after network, inviting your friends, sharing your interests, pasts, and posts you give Facebook and MySpace substance. While doing exactly the same with Kaioo you can help people in need. Now also the network effect kicks in and you can even tell your 450 friends, which you wouldn't have if not for MySpace, to join in on the Real Social. All there is left then, is the decision to which charities the Money goes to. How much money could this actually be? It is estimated that in 2008 Social Communities earn US$ 2 Billion. Take a second to digest this: You are the ones who generated that much wealth - just by being human: a social animal. Kaioo is now giving you the platform to be generous with it!

What could be done with US$ 2 Billion every year:
-buy the whole rainforest that is left and save it sustainably in 9 years
-save thousands of animals from becoming extinct
-save the lifes of countless poor people
-stop climate change
-help the Third World becoming save and well-regulated and thus lessen the population explosion

Rising education, housing, and health-care costs have made it virtually impossible for all but the corporate elite to enjoy what were once considered middle-class comforts. Thousands are afflicted with a wrenching choice: take up residence on America's financial and social margins or sell out. And it's not just impoverished teachers and social workers, struggling to pay their rent, who are hurt. From the activist who works to give others a living wage but isn't paid one himself, to the universal health-care advocate who becomes a management consultant for Big Pharma, The Trap presents a damning indictment of the economic and political landscape that traps young Americans. It examines the struggles between passions and paychecks.

John Wood - "Leaving Microsoft to Change the World"

2008-10-15T03:31:08Z

Complete program at: fora.tv

Former Microsoft executive John Wood discusses hand-delivering a load of donated books to a rural village in Nepal, an experience that inspired him to quit his job and start the international non-profit organization "Room to Read."

-----

John Wood discusses "Leaving Microsoft to Change the World: An Entrepreneur's Odyssey to Educate the World's Children"

In 1998, John Wood was a rising executive at Microsoft when he took a vacation that changed his life. What started as a trekking holiday in Nepal became a spiritual journey, and then a mission: to change the world one book and one child at a time. So upon returning from holiday, John did what most of us can only dream of doing: he walked away from millions to do "more". Over the next five years he would make the unlikely marriage between Microsoft business practices and the world of non-profits to create Room to Read, an organization that has created a network of over 2,000 schools and libraries (with over one million books) throughout communities in Southeast Asia and India.
