Anything But Ordinary

Tipping Bucket…ever heard of it?

Well it is this awesome thing online that lets ordinary people to extraordinary things.

All you do is submit a project with how much money you need to complete it and a time frame to raise the money in. People then look at the project online and decide if they want to donate. If they do and you reach your goal in the time limit then you get all the money to complete the project. If you do not reach the goal then the donor’s money is put back on their credit card.

How beautifully simple is that?! Their theme is “Change the world, or your money back!” Love it.

Mix Tipping Bucket with my International Studies assignment and it got me thinking…

I found this statistic:

In sub-Saharan Africa, measles takes the life of a child nearly every minute of every day, but an effective measles vaccine costs as little as $1 per child.

There are children dying that don’t need to be. Simply put, one dollar for one life. I can help that one child, and maybe even thousands!!! Now is just figuring out how to do it… Mark my words though, I’ll figure out a way.

Watch for me and the children of Africa on Tipping Bucket. It may be in a few months or a few years, but it will happen.

ONLY ONE DOLLAR!

One less frozen yogurt, almost four children alive

One less shirt from the mall, almost twenty children alive

One less café rio salad, almost nine children alive

How easy is that??

I am ordinary.

But my dollar combined with thousands of others, we together can be Anything but Ordinary.
