$10 to feed a family for a week

December 31, 2009

I was touched by Keith Ferrazi’s Facebook post about his trip to Guatemala:

The staple of their diet is a tortilla with a little salt to give it taste. one woman shred a story of christmas this year where she told her kids that tonight they would eat tortillas but because they had none she pretended and boiled rocks and sat next …to the fire all night until the kids gave out from exhaustion and went to sleep. She at least wanted the kids to go to sleep thinking that they would have food.

 

Here is where you can give $10 to feed a family for two weeks.

 

Tonight is a great night to do it.  It’s what I call the “sacrifice to the party gods.”  Just before the weekend or a party starts, I like to give to a charity to remember that while I get to go out and have a good time, there are others who cannot even eat.
