A friend of mine from college recently returned to the United States from an extended trip to Uganda where she was working on a project for a non-profit organization called Givology. The name of the project was “What would you do with $50?” She travelled to rural villages in Uganda and met with various groups of children. Each child was asked to draw a picture of what they would buy if they had $50. After collecting hundreds of drawings, she returned to New York with her co-workers to organize a fundraiser in Tribeca. The illustrations that she collected were being sold for 50 dollars each, and the proceeds went primarily towards providing education to children who otherwise could not afford one. |
