When I lived in China, a dollar literally meant lunch for a week. About two hundred dollars funded high school for a poor child for a year. So your participation in the challenge below will help people, even if you just click for Intel's quarter, and donate nothing of your own. I hope you'll go to the challenge and support the initiative. It doesn't have to cost you a penny.

At least 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day, while 75 million children worldwide are not in school. By pooling surprisingly small investments, we can help to significantly improve educational access and economic development. It's called The Small Things Challenge, and partnering with Kiva, Save the Children, and Global Giving, it's a campaign based on the premise that every small action can make a big difference to ensure quality education and economic opportunity for all. We challenge you to join us in becoming a part of the solution. Visit www.smallthingschallenge.com and Intel will donate 25¢ per click for you to help.  Please spread the word and increase the donation.
