We believe every positive change is good for you and the whole Universe. It feels good to give and it is the right thing to do. Right now life isn’t as cool for everyone.
But, united we create a better, more beautiful and peaceful world. United we all win.
Why Give
“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.” ― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
When you give yourself (your time, your sincere attention, your ears, your money, your energy, your heart, your hands), it makes the whole world better.
The circle of goodness continues. It may even come back to you. It may come back to your children.
Emotional and psychologically overwhelming stress caused by poverty, illiteracy, illness, and environmental changes are considered the two greatest crises facing humankind in the 21st century.
We have made and invented a lot of resources and machines but we have lost touch with nature in the process. We have sacrificed on compassion and empathy. Below are the causes we believe in and support.
We are currently focused on problems that are big on a global level and can be resolved within the next 50 years. In other words, things we can impact within our lifetime.
EDUCATION
*There are over 58 million children worldwide without access to quality primary education. They live in countries suffering from poverty, discrimination, conflict or natural disasters.
The world would be far more peaceful and wonderful if you participate in one of these causes by making a small donation or by volunteering your time.
This is a noble cause and the returns come back to all of us.
