Answer 5

My philosophy is that you should never try to help others, you should work with them, a Thoreau quote goes something like: If a man is coming to help me I run for my life, if he's going to work with me I might just cooperate.

Keep in mind that people don't like having beliefs and technology shoved down their throats and that some contributions are wasted within a year or two.

The best charity I have found is:

You may want to look into the peace core when you are older, also look into volunteering to help organizations that distribute misquito nets and water filtering straws.

Health and environmentalism seem to have the fewest unforseen bad side effects, education is good too.

One note: Many people think curing disease and stopping war have the bad effect of increasing population growth; its wierd but the opposite actually happens. Perhaps people don't need to have as many children if they are more likely to survive?

Answer 6

see this is the problem with America WHY DONT YOU TRY HELPING THE NEEDY AND POOR IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY FIRST. as if Americans are any less deserving of the aid we give other countries hello people we are in a real bad way right now and to come together as Americans and try to fix this mess. we don't need to be worring about other countries.

Answer 7

All of the ideas posted are great ideas but I just wanted to throw in something else. Look online about teaching English in another country. They will probably give you enough to live off of and you can teach English and work and live with them and experience their life.
