Charity Discussion

      Today in class we talked about various different charities that we could follow up on. First we talked about Toms, the shoe company. Toms donates one pair of shoes to people in Africa for every pair of shoes you buy for 80$. But we realized that would not be the best choice because its better to give them something that they can use to build on their own rather than just give them something. Just like the saying, "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. But, teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime". Then Mr. Schick complained about how we bury our heads in our computer and don't pay attention in class. After that be continued our discussion on the foundations. The foundation I thought was good was Save the Children. I liked this one because it said they helped families in Africa help themselves. Which is what they need in order for their country to grow and prosper.
