Would you like to make a difference in someone's life? How do you know the best place to donate either time or money? Where will it help the most? Today's guest is Marc Gold who is the founder and director of the 100 Friends Project based in San Francisco and Bangkok. Marc collects donations, then travels to Third World Countries and looks for the neediest people. He then puts the money to work in the most compassionate, appropriate, culturally compatible, constructive, and practical manner possible and reports back to the donors. At a very young age, Marc's father taught him the importance of trying to make the world a better place. There are so many people who need so much worldwide. He goes looking for people not served by anyone and chose to work overseas. Marc has taught high school in Harlem and has taught classes at numerous community colleges around the country. He teaches half the year and lives with his sister, then travels as inexpensively as possible. Marc also talks about the way people rate top organizations such as Oxfam and Doctors Without Borders and how they utilize their resources very effectively in getting a large percentage of donations to those with the most need. In his travels, he has also met and worked with Mother Teresa. He talks about how any donation, no matter how large or small, can make a significant difference in someone's life.
