THE POWER OF ONE: A NEW WORLD BUILD ON PHILANTHROPY

Bill Gates and Melinda Gates give away 31 millions for public use and medical research. Warrant buffet did the same with an additional 3o millions. Of course they are not the only one who backed up more money in favor of the needed. Rockefeller did it in the 20 century creating Charities institutions to use that money. Thanks to their donations, it helps Brazilian eliminate Malaria, or helping other third countries to develop like agriculture or education. So what we called the power of one? Well it is the way to reshape the world trough philanthropy. You don’t need to be rich or billionaire to be a philanthropist. We can whip in through different ways such as giving small donations, being a volunteer in social work, helping homeless people or giving a piece of bread to the ones in need. There is a phrase we must keep in mind and I want to share “give and forget, receive and remember”. Maybe we can find very difficult to give something we like but remember how precious and sweet is to receive and smile for someone in need after receiving our help. We don’t need any recognition, just that smile of satisfaction from people in need and sometimes we become unknown heroes for them. Can you shape the face of the world?
