I want to be a philanthropist... but
    #8035082 - 02/17/08 03:17 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

1. I'm afraid of corrupting whoever I help. If I really help a community out, and things become easier for them I don't want them to become a slave to that convenience if you know what I mean.

Example one: Let's say I teach a man how to fish. I don't want him to begin hording and selling fish because he wants something else. Then finding that he needs more fish to support that thing he didn't need, and forever becoming enslaved to that cycle killing his life.

Example two: I don't want to teach many men to fish, and then have one of them turn around and try to get all of the fish so he can sell them and get richer and richer while the others suffer (as well as himself, but not financially)

2. I am afraid of starving. I have a really strict diet of just meats and fats, with few veggies. Not because of vanity (but it is a REALLY good way of staying lean, muscular, and healthy) but because I'm really sensitive to veggies. I have many allergies, and have a hard time absorbing nutrients from fibrous plant bulk which only causes me pain. I don't mind eating guts and bugs and stuff like that either, which I find might help.

3. I don't know where to go! The Peace Corps is really stringent, and I still need two references for my Americorps application. But I don't really know anyone that isn't family and has known me long enough to do it. Many other volunteer places I've found require you to pay them thousands of dollars which I find very assinine.

I've thought about it, but I think I need to join an organization first. I'm not at that level where I know enough to help properly on my own. And it would help having funding for whatever I would need (building homes, libraries, and whatnot).

That's a very noble and generous intention you have. How do you want to help? In any area in particular?

I want to help in anyway that would actually improve the lives of people in need. Whether it be finding a food source, helping them out of bondage, improving their health, educating, finding shelter, or whatever else. I'm also very interested in environmentalism.

Areas of high interest are South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South East Asia. Especially the meat eating parts like Brazil, Kenya, Vietnam, Northern India, and so on.
