A Year of Living Better

The old controversy is as follows. Should I serve both overseas and at home? Some people are trying to solve problems in our own backyard before we worry about problems outside the world.

That's what I'm thinking about. Foreign aid organizations can save more lives cheaper than American organizations. For example, you can send a girl to a school in Malawi for one year at $ 100, and the money is done quite at home. Also, I think that our sympathy should not be influenced by the color of someone's skin or the color of someone's passport; in general, most of my donation comes from abroad.

But I am also worried that helping to make the Zimbabwe "cool" in a way that some wealthy Americans are not in their towns seems to be wrong as well. We have great demand both at home and abroad.

The Internet can help you find a good business and make it interesting. For example, if you are interested in international issues, please consult GlobalGiving.org. This will list the organizations around the world and allow you to donate to them. For microfinance, an organization called Kiva.org did the same and provided a $ 25 loan to pursue SMEs in poor countries all over the world. I have been to a bakery in Afghanistan where I borrowed a small amount from Kiva to expand his business. And yes, it is exciting (although money borrowed through Kiva is concentrated for efficiency, your money may not be the reason for you to see the photos). A similar website at home is donchoose.org and we can give a small gift to underprivileged school projects throughout the country; we plan and support class news projects through donating groups.

Over the past two years I have been looking for a project that can produce great value for his community and continue to run better life projects after starting to improve Bali project in February 2015. Taking people together is my art, my crafts and date, I saw a wonderful number from our project website for Cascais: http: //betterlivingproject.strikingly .com / Lifestyle is different - When I arrive in Cascais for 34 days, I have had various emotions and comments such as "I never felt this feeling at home for a long time" remember. Did someone wash you together, or did you eat it for a month?

Finding a balance between short life time and long life time is crazy. So I tried to stick to this: I think I have a life of five years. Why five years? It is enough for you to make a real plan, play a real role in some way, spend time with your family and friends, find work in your dreams, keep learning, discovering and dying. The plan for five years is also short, and there is no complaint. Or do not make things obvious or worry about stupid things. By the way, I am still trying to master the plan for five years. For example, last night I decided that cashew nuts were stuck in my throat, I almost went to the emergency room. I feel good the next morning.

Before I got a big job I was working in the publishing industry for 13 years. It is editor-in of "Seventeen Magazine". I am living my 16 year old dream - it is better than I thought! In other words, it is part of my job to organize a Beyoncé party. I did not even even have dinner parties! I have an office in a shining skyscraper, and I can see a magnificent view of Manhattan. There are also closets full of wonderful shoes. But when your dream job is a company job it is easily affected by company restructuring. So, I am satisfied with the reorganization and restart work of 2014. I did the work. But this is not the end of my dream. I will never stop being a Badass Babe
