A 15 year boy living a luxury lifestyle directs his energy for creating wells in Afghanistan once he learns each well built at a cost of 2000 $ can provide clean drinking water to 1000 people. This shakes him up and he starts with contributing his Eid gifts as a start for this noble cause and follows this up approaching his family, friends, neighbors and corporate companies around him convincing them to be a part of this noble movement.
If he at 15, can do this, how many of us think of doing at least one good thing around us, do we? Pick any newspaper, watch any news channel, what do we see? problems related to land, religions, politics, oil and thousands of unthinkable excuses. We look around us, people losing jobs, crime on rise, countries on war path, midst all this, his story is a real eye opener. If each one of us just do as he does, one good deed, millions of people will benefit and world would be surely a better place than it is now.
How about not just feeding the hungry but put together some ideas on how to get more and more people employed. As jobs happen, people will get busy, food and clean water will be more affordable. There is no magical solution and it sure is not as easy as I write. It requires a lot of deep thinking but as mankind, we have been gifted the power to think. Let us all use this power and start changing things around us. Shall we?
