Last night, I had a conversation with a friend who had just visited Israel on business. He was describing the ongoing tensions he had observed between the Jewish and the Palestinian peoples in the particular area he visited, and how the carrying of guns and weapons at any age is still commonplace. Afterward, I tried to imagine what it would be like to Give Away A Dollar A Day in a region currently embroiled in strife.

Most of the people who Give Away A Dollar A Day right now live in industrialized countries such as the United States, Canada, England, Australia, etc. I don’t know of any who are doing this in Third World countries, like Iraq or Sudan, where conflict and tension is a deeply embedded part of daily life.

But I also know that giving away and the love of the give away is (or at least, should be) the same everywhere, because it speaks to the very soul of every person, regardless of where they live or of what culture they are a part.

I would especially like your thoughts on this. Do you think Give Away A Dollar A Day has a home in all countries of the world?

Blessings, and thank you for helping me to continue to gain a better understanding of universal giving,

Todd

PS – I do want to mention here, that even though it’s called Give Away A Dollar A Day, this generous practice of every day, unconditional giving works with any currency, because giving is at its core, and at the heart.
