How can you get the maximum ROI from 10 bucks?
Well, last night as I was walking home, I was thinking about ppcs and pop under campains. I was thinking of investing money with them, and the posible return. It is not to difficult to get a 400-500 houndred dollar ROI from a 10 dollar ppc campain. But as I was walking home, I saw a homeless woman with her baby begging for food. Normally, I walk right by without paying attention. Just so you know, I live in central america, there is some reall poverty here, and homeless people do not have "public dinning areas" like I have hear they have in the US.
But for some strange reason, I stoped, and paid some reall attention to her. She was filthy and smelled bad, her hair was tangle, her stomach was bulging out from mal nutrition. Both her and her baybe, like almost all homeless people, had their bodies covered in scars and scratches. She was at the most 17-18 years old. Her baybe was coghing, skinny like hell.
A shiver ran down my spine. I droped all my thoughts and felt a thousanth of the pain she felt. I imagined crawling up to a card board box at night, with no walls to protect me from other humans and from the weather. I imagined what it would be like to have nothing. I went over to her and asked if she wanted to go eat. With fear of me herting her, she accepted. After she eat, and left, three other young chilldren cought up with her. I called them back and took the kids out to eat too and gave her some money for baby food. I know it wasn't much, but it brought a smile to her face.
It all costed me was a little bit over 11 bucks. That was the ROI of a life time; infinite ROI. People, get some reall ROI, and donate. And I don't mean going to an organization and giving money (I am very cinical, and I believe they have horryble distribution), I mean help another human being in need, you would be sorprised at how many people are in need. And it doesn't have to monetary, there are plenty of things you can do to make the world, just a tinny bit better place.
Just thought I would share this with you, as I hope to be doing this more often.
Best Regard

There are so many people like that and it's painful to think about. You want to help them all but it's not possible. Guess you just do what you can.
Read an inspirational story about someone over in afghanistan how he's not only raising money for such like people, but setting up schools so that these people can begin to help themselves out of extreme poverty. Brings tears to my eyes to hear these good stories.
