Feed a child

For pennies a day, you can feed a child all the knowledge in the world.
Donate today.

Proposed by: Ocaasi. On scope? n/d. Tested? n/d. Income: n/d. Discarded: n/d.

Comments:

note: Could be perceived as insensitive to causes that are actually feeding children. Seems like a stretch. Rebecca (WMF)

That was kind of the idea. It'd be more insensitive if it wasn't true. You really can, and there's something to be said for giving knowledge which is profound. I changed 'feed' to 'give' below to avoid the direct connotation. Probably reads better if you just saw that one first. User:Ocaasi01:28, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

note: again, wouldn't throw a child in here unnecessarily. But the idea is nice. Providing education to people who might not acquire one otherwise. Rebecca (WMF)

• I like it. The children thing seems to soften people up; add a picture of a kid in rural somewhere and you've got it made.  ℳono  02:06, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Change child to "everyone, including your son" ;) Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton ^m 07:51, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

• We want people to give a bit more than a penny, don't we? --Church of emacs talk · contrib 13:57, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
• I don't see this as encouraging people to donate only a penny. GorillaWarfare 00:10, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
