A crash course in changing the world.
ok, day one.
I am now on the mission. what mission you may ask? A mission that requires the utmost fortitude and valor, a mission that honestly may be impossible. That doesn't discourage me though. I am determined to win!
So enough of the valiant monologue. i recently watched a ted talk featuring gaming master Jane McGonigal on how gaming can make a better world and let me tell you this woman is a genius. She had me sold after she said that we all
needed to play more online games. Part of the new wave of people trying
empower the vast amount of people playing online games McGonigal created
a new game called Evoke. Let me
tell you, after only a few minutes on the site i was sold.
This game is definitely on the right path, for my first task i am choose a hero to shadow, becoming a brother in arms per se. My hero is One Days Wages, an international grassroots organization dedicated to ending extreme
global poverty. Here's a few words from the ODW
The good news is that, there are already individuals and organizations around the world doing amazing work to end extreme global poverty. We're not trying to re-invent the wheel but rather to
collaborate and partner with others. In short, One Day's Wages is
joining them in the fight.
Consider the impact of your one day's wages, which is equivalent to about 0.4% of your annual salary.
the reason i choose ODW is very simple, i already choose them. i came to know about ODW though facebook and when my first EVOKE mission was to choose a cause that is making change in meaningful ways. I right away
thought of ODW and came to find out about the faces behind the name,
Eugene & Minhee Cho.
I have decided to follow ODW on a variety of online mediums such as facebook, twitter, and rss.
