Unlike you I cant take a shower in the morning and get a drink of water. I have been without running water for over a month and cant afford to get it turned back on. I am young and disabled and the little bit of money I get from SSI is garnished by student loans. I make it on around 11 thousand a year but cant sit around like you wondering what to do with money I don't have. I guess if I was rich I could sit around and think about who I would like to help too. Once your poor and in constant pain from an accident like me you can be happy just to have $1 in your pocket.

One aspect I'd like to emphasize is philanthropy is not always about the "world's problems". While, I think it is wonderful when someone can help those outside of their home country, sometimes the problems in our own neighborhood are a good step forward for making a global impact. My god-sister recently wrote a book about how the younger generation can get involved in philanthropy and make a difference - as she did. It's called <a href="http://www.youngrevolutionarieswhorock.com/" rel="nofollow"> Young Revolutionaries Who Rock</a>. She started a charity of her own at 14 to teach girls how to defend themselves after a number of abductions in her surrounding area. Three years later, she and her charity are making a global impact.
