gaining perspective
as the holiday season rolls around and we're busy shopping it's nice to take a moment and gain a bit of perspective - i stumbled on this from Tara's bloghttp://www.globalrichlist.com/index.php
i found out that i was amongst the top 3% of the richest people in world...
$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.
A bit of perspective
