  • Location: Texas
  • Occupation: Computer Programmer
  • My Passions: I just started giving. I like the concept of giving animals with a 'pass it on' concept of giving at least the first born is an exciting concept because a small donation continues to grow. I love animal giving and simple home building concepts.
  • About My Inner Philanthropist (why I give): It is selfish. It makes me feel better but maybe it makes a difference. I would like to be more passionate about giving. I think so many including myself are jaded with any significant overhead. I can see where giving fast breeders and converters like FISH, RABBITS, CANE RATS, PIGS, and even GOATS. I also like the thought of diging better wells to provide safe water. I can imagine the immediate pride someone could feel having nothing then being given an animal that could change their life.
