Hello Somebody [People you should get to know]

I am starting a new series entitled "People You Should Get To Know".  Technically, these are organizations, but people sounds better, and in the end- they are people- not a faceless company.

Here's the thing: we all change the world.  Which direction we change it is up to us.  Some people go and get their hands dirty trying to help others.  Some people turn a blind eye to the needs of the world.  But something like this takes no effort on our part.  It takes no time out of our day.  In fact- we get something out of it.  But with something as small as purchasing a watch or a t-shirt- we can change someone's life.  

First on the list: Hello Somebody.  This company is one I proudly support on a daily basis.  If you know me personally, or follow me on twitter- you might be familiar with some cool watches I've been wearing lately:

I get a lot of compliments on them. I have a red one, a white one, a grey one, and a green one.  And I plan on getting many more.  And here's why:

1. Their existence is centered around feeding and educating children in third world countries.
2. Their watches are incredibly stylish and cool looking
3. The price is extremely affordable (only $25 a piece!)
4. The money goes to providing clean water, food, and education.  To children.  Who desperately need it.

You need to check this organization out. Get to know the people behind the organization.  No, not the people who run it.  They are great too- but the people behind the organization.  The reason behind the organization.  I challenge you to look up some statistics on poverty.  Then you can decide if you want to throw money away on a $100 watch that does nothing, OR, buy a $25 watch, and help a child.

Buy a watch.  Buy a T-shirt.  Buy a CD.  Donate money.  Help children.

If you want to help this company- invest in them.  And spread this post around.  Word of mouth goes farther than we could ever imagine!
