Money Talks

I came across this video from a NGO Open Space, where in they go around a city asking people what they would do, if they were to be given Rs. 500/- (approx $10). This was one of the most moving 2 min video that I have seen in a long long time. Before this, if anyone told me that they could convince me about any topic and change my believes with a 2 min video, I would have probably laughed at them. It is a must watch.




$8 could buy you 15 organic apples OR 25 fruit trees for farmers in Honduras to grow and sell fruit at their local market.

$30 could buy you an ER DVD Boxset OR a First Aid kit for a village in Haiti.

$73 could buy you a new mobile phone OR a new mobile health clinic to care for AIDS orphans in Uganda.

$2400 could buy you a second generation High Definition TV OR schooling for an entire generation of school children in an Angolan village.

What do you wish to do with your money?

What would you do if you were given Rs. 500/-?
