First they made money and then they gave it away. There is a lesson there. The bleeding heart socialists want to give away before they make anything - actually others should give away !<br /><br />@Ravi - Yeah, I know. Not just Johanna, but probably every classical musician of past, present and future !! The dollar left after buying all that will be an useful giveaway !!!!<br /><br /><br />@Sandhya - Oh - of course. The size of any problem can overwhelm. But every small step towards a solution counts.<br /><br />@Rads - I simply can't understand any parent who can even think of doing that. I don't think they are human.<br /><br />@Shachi - Absolutely true Shachi. You don't need a billion dollars to start to give away. Actually a rupee from a poor person is probably worth more than a million from a billionaire. And, as Gates has proved, more than the money he gives, it is his involvement and leadership that matters.<br /><br />@J _ That's the other side of the problem - suppressing demand. But still to every girl who was rescued - it made a massive difference to HER life.<br /><br />@Gils - Ha Ha Ha.

Hospitals here need so many volunteers - if everyone around me just slept 2 less hours every week, they would bring smiles to so many people. Many middle-school/high-school kids struggle with their subjects and school projects....take some time out and help them. So many toddlers and pre-school kids are lonely....they might have toys, but not much attention from humans...go spend time with them...take your child with you. Small things will eventually make a big difference.Shachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008713817905152623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-9690238456149924932012-04-19T22:53:33.460+05:302012-04-19T22:53:33.460+05:30If only parents didn't sell off their girl kid...If only parents didn't sell off their girl kids in the first place.

Liberalising them from these clutches would be a great contribution to the society.<br /><br />Honestly, when I started thinking about what I would do with a 1 bn, I just couldnt think of anything great that I could do with it. Somehow I thought that whatever one does, it just gets swallowed up by someone who is more cunning or smarter.<br />All that kept appearing in my mind was that I would go to every signal and every temple and just distribute it to all those who are begging for it.<br /><br />Reading this is opening up my mind to some innovative thinking.Hemahttp://hemarao.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
