(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); In the US we're celebrating a holiday which we call Thanksgiving. The history behind it is not really that important for the purposes of this thread. What is important about this holiday (related to this thread) is the giving thanks for all that we have.

NextGenUpdate receives a lot in donations. I've donated well over $100 to it myself. We donate to this site for a variety of reasons. We should all take the same dedicate and love we have for NGU and share a small portion of it to those less fortunate.

Some statistics to help put it in perspective:


  • 80% of the world (5.15 billion humans) lives on less than $10.00 per day and almost 50% (3.14 Billion) live on less than $2.50 per day
  • 27%-28% of all children in developing countries are underweight and/or stunted.
  • Of the 2.2 billion children in the world, 1 billion live in poverty
  • 10.6 million children in the world don't live to their 5th birthday, each year.
  • Almost 1 billion people entered the 21st century unable to read or even sign their own name.
  • Almost half of all people in developing countries are suffering, at any given time, with health issues caused by poor public sanitation and the unavailability of clean water.
  • 1.6 billion people live without electricity.


So the question is, what can you do? Well you can get involved in the many organizations that offer relief and support to these folks.

Donate to any of the following:

There are tons of other charities, I just listed a few that come to mind. Get involved. Help out those less fortunate.

Edit - Users of NGU so far have donated $286 to the above charities. Combined with my $100 to St. Jude, we're at $384 total!

Thanks!!

Shiver do you lift?
Dont flame me for this seriously please dont but im sure you belive this as well as i do..

Its not the country we come from.

AND Its the goverments fault for all these huge payrises and cuts.

If i was in the goverment trust me i would be happy to give the people the money NOT their goverment.

I mean look near 2 billion pounds or more was givin to a charity and **** all happened.

I think either the goverment is taking the money or something fishy is going on.

Oh and how did u get demoted :(
