Our CEO has a very clear vision that culture inside the company is the most important variable that drives our business to success. This culture takes on a plethora of different challenges, and one of them is something called "Change the World" wherein, you guessed it, my company is trying to literally change the world. One good deed at a time. The amount of positive reinforcement is phenomenal at my work, and it shows. We've received numerous awards for "Best place to work in San Diego" and we're now on a campaign to try and branch out to other people, and other companies to not only network for our company, but to attempt to make the world a better place. So people were selected at random to perform an act of kindness with a budget (this budget was provided by the company). I received $5 as my budget, and I know that doesn't seem like a lot, because it definitely didn't seem like a lot to me, but I thought about it: People in under developed countries could be helped immensely by donations such as this. I know it's cliche that NO donation is ever too small, but I really want to know what kind of impact $5 could really have on a person's life. I thought about just taking the money and buying a bum a meal, but even then, that's one meal, for one day. I want this money to stretch as much as possible. I've done some research, and 3for5 seems like the best option so far. Especially if I were to really campaign to get people to form a "wave" as they put it. But I have until next week to do this, and I would like to know that this small budget did as much as it could, so please, let me know what you think would be the best way to impact the world with just $5. Where do you work? I live in San Diego and I must agree with your CEO about culture within a company.  Spend that $5 on gas and go out and volunteer for something worthwhile. I really like this idea. If you do and get several man-hours of work done that'll multiply your $5. Stuff like food doesn't multiply the value of the $5. | ||

I started to buy and sell Nintendo Games, I ended up having over 60 NES games by the time I was around 11-13(Not sure on the age.) My advice would be buy something for 5 dollars or less, that you know you can get more money for somewhere else. Continue to form a profit this way. Then you can do a lot more with that "$5" you started with as it turned a profit. | ||

Naw bro, one bill wont make a child happy, I am talking about like 100 nickles. You give a kid a bag full of 100 coins.... that kid is smiling. IF you wear any kind of costume, it makes it less creepy. | ||
