"Interesting device. I've passed it on to about a dozen people. You should probably start a thread in a forum if you really want to get the idea out tho... that will get even more people seeing it."

Send the link to as many people as possible.It will help save lives.

Above is an actual comment from a very influential person who has the interest of people and I am really happy to know I am making a difference to the lives of people.

Do the needful and at the earliest.I am trying my best and so should we all-whatever we do we should not crib later and should enjoy doing the same.

On making a real difference

“If you come only to help me, you can go back home. But if you consider my struggle as part of your struggle for survival, then maybe we can work together.”

I hope all who read this blog understand me and work with me and make my struggle to make real difference their own struggle too and that is before I give up!

Make Poverty history and Ryan's Well Foundation

I am all for it and am doing the least I can to make a difference - popularizing the website and the movement on this blog which full of interesting info and websites.

I also want to add here that I have been able to make a difference in trying to make a difference in increasing the sugar production of the world as I am sure people will use the information I provided to an influential Yahoo Group of which I am a member.

Giving information about tried and tested products and solutions is the least we can do for benefiting everyone we know and in a way I am doing it and writing about it here.Today I also found the website of Ryan's Well foundation - I had read about the story in Readers Digest when I was a youngster and had always admired the courage and tenacity of Ryan who set out to make a difference by providing drinking water to an entire community by digging a well in Africa.

Both the websites are mentioned here and will urge all of us to do something more for everybody we know and do not know as well.Why I have not bothered about really popularizing this website-well because I use it as a personal reservoir of websites and information that my friends,well-wishers and I care about & not every one has these same interests.I know if people like the info presented here the info will spread and make a difference and one life made easier is a big difference.

Think and do something more is my only request.

Ryan has always been a very sensitive boy. His parents and those around him have tried to nurture this characteristic. His grade one teacher, Mrs Prest was able to inspire Ryan. He decided that raising money for wells for people who didn't have clean water would be a good thing. He worked for four months in order to earn his first $70.

It grew from the $70 collected by doing simple household chores, to the support of non-profit organizations such as WaterCan, CPAR, CIDA and Free the Children. It grew to over $1,000,000 in support of people in Africa who need clean water.

"I'm just a normal boy," Ryan says when anyone asks about his achievements. Although many people would disagree with this statement, it is very true. He plays soccer, basketball and hockey. He enjoys reading, playing Nintendo and swimming as well. He has friends in the elementary school he attends, including dedicated volunteers like Jack who, like Ryan, plans to be a water engineer when he grows up. He loves to visit his Nana and his cousins in Ontario's Niagara region and his Grandparents near Deep River, Ontario. Ryan plays with his brothers Jordan and Keegan and with dog Riley. He has been writing to his African pen pal Jimmy Akana, who you may have seen with him on the cover of Reader's Digest.

Throughout, Ryan's family has been very supportive of his efforts to get clean water to Africa. Older brother Jordan sets up most of Ryan's audiovisual presentations and little brother Keegan has licked hundreds of stamps for thank you letters and notes that have been sent around the world. The Hreljacs live in a country home in North Grenville, just south of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Helping out Start ups - in the hardest step!

First identify the hardest step - the idea stage idea to business plan writing to the forming of the company.

Then comes the hardest step - finding the first client and adding real value to the client so that all come back for more!

I have found a company that actually does the same and it invests mostly in computer-related ideas. It does it because it is full of technology and net savvy people, it prefer groups that have a lot of technical depth. It actually cares more about how smart a person is more than how old the person is, and more about the quality of your idea than whether a formal business plan exists or not.

Yup such a dream company exists and I honestly wonder when individuals especially the ones who really want to help start doing more and talking less!

www.ycombinator.com

The link is given only to prove such a company exists and we should do more.I am doing my bit my writing this blog and giving examples - why?

It is only in the hope that good people come forward to help me out!

Anyway ... with or without help I will always try to do whatever I can to help out people by giving examples and doing what I can and Inshallah I will succeed sooner rather than later!

I hope the example has inspired readers of this blog to do whatever they can and now!

Hop you all benefit and yes I do keep using technorati tags (www.technorati.com) to keep upto date.The key words I use Startups,technology,ideas and Venture capital.

Think about doing the same and yes you too can be successful few tips here are:

1. Built trust in your family and friends and persuade them to help out.Ask and thou will be given.
2. Always be frugal with money and use it ony when absolutely essential.
3. Be willing to give up equity to the right people.
4. Find out as much info as possible about the business you want to enter into from friends/colleagues/consultants etc. and learn by yourself.

Use tools to save time and money and enable others to do the same - charge for the same and you are in business.For example you can always request your friends who use Windows 2000 to download an internet accelarator from Google-it works.That is how one can save time.
