Water for People
Water for People is an organization that works in countries that need
improved access to water. The statistic on their web page that 884
million people don't have access to safe drinking water is mind

different countries to help this situation. Some inspiring stories.

Use what you have
Innovation (often) comes from constraint (If you’ve got very few
resources, you’re forced to be very creative in using and reusing them.)
I think this quote is really true. High tech innovation is sometimes so high it's irrelevant. It's like the old proverb: Necessity is the mother of invention.I think I have a story to illustrate that. My two pin mobile didn't fit three pin plugs in Ireland. I spent the week using matches to invent a third pin so that my mobile could charge. After a… Continue

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
