Best of luck to you on the lottery. I am glad to see that you can think of others who are less fortunate. This is a social skill missing in our (mis)leadership class today. Although it seems you are tackling the social giving aspect in an admirable way, may I make a few suggestions?

(1) Focus first on children. The number of children living in poverty is astounding and truly saddening.

(2) If you can find like-minded people, start an educational endeavor that provides quality, low-cost education to all, esp. the underserved. Have you seen the cost of a 4 year education lately?

(3) Support job training programs that empower people to pursue private enterprise (you know, “teach a man to fish….”). Dr. Martin Luther King once remarked that we should encourage people to be the best at whatever it is they do. A farmer should try to be the DaVinci of farmers and so on. Everybody doesn’t need to be the head of Microsoft.

(4) Support or establish programs which allow for the international exchange of teachers. We learn from each other and no one has a lock on intelligence, creativity, nor motivation.

(5) As you have outlined, support wellness endeavors that are proactive and supportive of health education and prevention.

Best of luck to you.
