(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); In the US we're celebrating a holiday which we call Thanksgiving. The history behind it is not really that important for the purposes of this thread. What is important about this holiday (related to this thread) is the giving thanks for all that we have.

NextGenUpdate receives a lot in donations. I've donated well over $100 to it myself. We donate to this site for a variety of reasons. We should all take the same dedicate and love we have for NGU and share a small portion of it to those less fortunate.

Some statistics to help put it in perspective:


  • 80% of the world (5.15 billion humans) lives on less than $10.00 per day and almost 50% (3.14 Billion) live on less than $2.50 per day
  • 27%-28% of all children in developing countries are underweight and/or stunted.
  • Of the 2.2 billion children in the world, 1 billion live in poverty
  • 10.6 million children in the world don't live to their 5th birthday, each year.
  • Almost 1 billion people entered the 21st century unable to read or even sign their own name.
  • Almost half of all people in developing countries are suffering, at any given time, with health issues caused by poor public sanitation and the unavailability of clean water.
  • 1.6 billion people live without electricity.


So the question is, what can you do? Well you can get involved in the many organizations that offer relief and support to these folks.

Donate to any of the following:

There are tons of other charities, I just listed a few that come to mind. Get involved. Help out those less fortunate.

Edit - Users of NGU so far have donated $286 to the above charities. Combined with my $100 to St. Jude, we're at $384 total!

Thanks!!

It feels good to help out other people. My parents 'adopted' a child somewhere in Africa. Now we get drawings from her every Christmas. Really nice Happy

I donated $10 to the St. Jude research centers, I've read about them and they do some incredible work. I'd donate more if I could, but $10 is better then nothing Smile
