Day 2- "I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink."

I really looked into how I could #LightTheWorld today. The theme is found in Matthew 25:35, where Jesus said, "I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink."

Now, I wanted to do something that I wouldn't normally do, because I think that's the point of this 25 Day Challenge, to get yourself out of your comfort zone and help. I asked GM what he thought and he said that when he buys games from HumbleBundle, they will donate a percentage to the charity of your choice, and he always chooses the water charity.

Well, me being me, and my mother's daughter, I wanted to do a little research before I donated to a charity. I am a wee bit paranoid and I want to make sure I am helping the right people and not just the perceived right people.

I was amazed by what I found.

Charity Water has funded over 24,537 projects to help provide water to over 7 MILLION people around the world. And they are 100% funded by those who donate, which means regular people raised enough money to help millions of people gain access to fresh water. Maybe the world isn't so bad after all, we just have to look to something other than the mass media (half joking, half serious).

I'm not a perfect researcher all the time, so I didn't go too far past Twitter, the web pages, and what scam finders, had to say. But, I also realized that as long as I'm sacrificing to help others, with the intent of doing good, it doesn't really concern me if I'm being scammed or not. I mean, use common sense, obviously, but I shouldn't be looking for an excuse to not donate.

I should just do it.

So, I did.

And that was Day 2.
