I have been feeling outside the loop, not making a headway, feeling guilty, etc... about making this world a better place. It seems however, that there are leaps and bounds :
For example, the Microcredt movement - Alliance of Students Against Poverty - http://www.asap2025.org/. This fundraising mechanism aims to have 2 million people give $1 a day till 2025 to fund micro finance organizations and then in turn eradicate poverty by 2025.
The one laptop per child has started to produce so it is now (as of November 2007) available to buy by the general public at $400 a piece - one will go to you (or your child) and another will go to another poor child in a poor country.
So I just gathered evidence towards my promise - without actually doing much. Loving it.
