If you had the responsibility to decide where $1 million should be spent to improve conditions somewhere in the world, what project(s) would you choose? Why?


If I had the opportunity to decide where one million dollars should be spent I would choose a place where there are many children in a city or county that are children that do not really have home to go to very night, or a hot meal to eat before they go to sleep. I would choose to make a facility where kids could be put in this place to be taken care of as far as given the necessities one needs to survive, as well as to provide them with an education to hopefully go on to be able to pick up on skills one needs to be capable to searching for a job and later being employed. It is getting harder and harder for people to make a living now a days and there are many kids that do not have families that care about them and are very smart, they just have no way to express how smart they are and are not being able to receive the type of education they deserve to go on in life to do bigger and better things for themselves. The type of facility I would choose for that money to be spent on would provide kids with a nice place to sleep, an education, and meals to be given to them. There are public schools, but not all kids don't necessarily have a nice place to go home to or parents that care, or a place where they are fed or being told to go to school or staying out of trouble or things like that. This facility would provide all of these things for kids such as providing them with the things they need and holding activities to keep them out of the streets and staying out of trouble.
