Helping the world's problems by clicking a button; how sweet is that?
I've heard this story a lot throughout my life:
A man lived near the sea. Every day thousands of starfish washed up on the shore and died. One day the man saw a young boy walking along the seashore throwing the starfish back into the sea. The next day the same boy did this again. Day after day the man saw this boy throwing the starfish back into the sea one by one.
Finally the man took a walk along the shore and talked to the boy, "Why do you come every day and throw the starfish back into the sea? You can not hope to save them all, there are too many, even for one as determined as you."
The boy picked up a starfish and threw it back into the sea. "I saved that one," he replied to the man.Obviously it's ridiculous to spend every waking hour trying to save thousands of starfish every day, but the message is a very good one. No one can solve the world's problems on their own, the world is too big, and there's too many problems to solve. It's overwhelming and we'd tear ourselves apart trying to save everyone and everything. Instead many of us fall into despair and try to live our lives the best we can.
Anyhow, I love this website's idea. The more times people click on the link, the more money the sponsors donate to the causes, and they give 100% of the money to the cause. Here are the links below.

I do ask that you mention it was a commission for me by her, because I am writing a story with these characters and may want to use the picture if I try to publish it.

The path of possibility is lined with challenges, how we face each challenge determines where the path will take us.
