Ok, why are we doing this? Don't tell me because you got a random call from a friend who twisted your arm to do this initiative. True enough it started that way hehe but kidding aside, something about this must have appealed to you... C'mon team why are spending time when we can just sleep or hang out with our friends or grab some drinks and not care less about education and developing countries. We're not THAT good ;) ...so Why $10? Why did you volunteer.
And if you're visiting this blog, what do you think of our site? You can say it's lousy 'cause there's nothing there (true enough haha) or you can leave something encouraging to keep us going ...either way we'll love to hear the good and the bad...leave your one-liners and make us smile or smirk =p

I think your efforts are commendable. I'm sure your organization will achieve its goals someday. I am curious. Why "the ten-dollar initiative"?
$10 paid for a glass of Vodka and Cranberry in one of my night-outs here in New York City.
On my way back home, I thought that would convert to P500.00 in local currency. That’s what happens when you’ve got too much to drink. You think of weird things.
What do you do when you’ve got $10, $20, $30 to spend on drinks, and you realize schools in developing countries need just about P500.00, P1000.00 or whatever it is in local currency to pay for books, school supplies, and materials?
You come up with a $10 Initiative.
Anyway to answer your question, Nicole, I assume that the converse of $10 would be nothing--that's the other option in this life-- less work, free weekends, fewer emails, no more drafting of plans.
You could do that.
Or you can try an idea, build it from nothing and see where it goes. Remember what William Parrish said, "if you haven't tried, you haven't lived." ;-)
Chiong, in response to why $10..it seems like a fair enough amount...not to much out of a student budget but not too little either to make a significant impact in a school project somewhere in some village. small drops in the bucket and before you know it, you've funded something significant in one child's education.
i agree. you can't imagine how far it can go. for someone somewhere 10 dollars is a fortune and it can make all the difference.
It's an honor to be a part of this. I am looking forward to the blossoming of our intitiative. More power!
