We have all heard it before – North American’s and European’s are the wealthiest in the world. Just how wealthy are you in comparison to 6+ billion people on this earth? The Global Rich List shows you just how skewed the distribution of income has become. Enter your income and you’ll see how you rate. Try $50,000, $20,000, $8,000. This is a real eye opener. It should make us realize that we in North America live in untold abundance.

Nata Village
It has been over six months since I first heard about Nata Village. A vlog by world traveller and producer Jon Rawlison on Rocketboom first gave me notice about this village in Botswana that is struggling with AIDS. Jon setup a blog that allowed the AIDS education and prevention efforts in this small village to reach the global community. The Internet can be used for good and bad. This is one of many examples of good.
The blog has regular updates and photos from the village. Donations for the work in Nata can also be made on the site.
Blogging can spread the good news
The ability of anyone to blog opens up new possiblities of sharing the Good News. Everyone knows somebody and they can be the sphere of influence in their lives.
It’s No Fun If Your Dead
The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) has launched its spring Road Safety & Loss Prevention campaign aimed directly at high school students. Using dark humor, www.nofunbeingdead.com talks directly to youth about the consequences of drinking and driving. With grad parties and warmer weather, our teens are put into situations that demand they make choices. The site includes audio segments from “Ask Death Radio Show”.
Support your teen and let them know about this website and that “It’s No Fun if Your Dead”.
There are prizes for youth who are residents of British Columbia.
