Education, poverty, health,
environment, human rights or world peace: these issues all
belong to same world - the one we share with Saleem
(side photo) from Bamyian, Afghanistan - and with our children. And they hit, just as you are reading this page. These and other
pressing issues must not be left to specialists or governments.
Even if we have little time, even if we are not doctors, it is very likely
that each one of us can make someone somewhere a much less desperate person. We may help out of
altruism or far-sighted self-interest, but in any case it is worth stepping in right now.
Who and how we help define us more than how much money we have, what car we
drive, and what clothes we wear.
See. Read. Take action.

schoolmates shown in the India
photo section, may be forced out of school - because there will be no school
anymore - unless funding is provided. Their school needs in total only a few
hundred dollars a month, so there is a very good chance that even a small
contribution can help.
