What have you done to help those living in this situation?
Maybe you don't have much time for this kind of thing, but I believe it's possible to assimilate our professional and family activities with citizenship related activities.
Every day I see intelligent people creating several how-to, persistent people who insist on learning new things, often using the created HOW-TO, creative people that create new solutions that help us daily, people who are reference in some areas, stimulating and encouraging others to participate in various activities. And finally smart people who endeavor to the maximum, often using alternative ways to accumulate points and then win their t-shirts.
Why not use all these skills to help expand the Food for Points, certainly the SDNer's will not receive their shirts but they will overcome this difficult moment when studying see a child studying after food.
If we all unite with the same desire to learn, teach, create and win shirts, we could improve things around us!
How about we start 2008 thinking CSR, creating more (CSR) how-to and "running" CSR ?
- Reduction in the deforestation of forests;
- Decrease the emission of CO2 in the atmosphere;
- Depollution of water (the most precious item on earth);
- Child Education
- Feeding programs
- Reduction of the indices of illiteracy;
- End of child labour;
- Training of needy people for the job market;
- Looking closely whether the politician you have voted are doing what was promised during the campaign;
- Checking the public spending to prevent or reduce corruption;
- ...
Don't know where to begin ?
Make as Three little words - 'Change the world', Food for Points, A New CSR Area? - Who Needs It?, Jim Spath, 2008 - the year when CSR becomes reality?, Reuse Recycleand many others.

Many may still feel that this is not important, but if depend on me subjects like poverty, illiteracy, pollution, waste of natural resources, deforestation and etc, will be addressed when possible, through a direct approach as the Wiki page SDN School Feeding
or indirectly as Marcelo Ramos Profile, ABAP Objects, SAPChess.
WFP school meals encourage hungry children to attend school and help them concentrate on their studies
