$8 could buy you 15 organic apples OR 25 fruit trees for farmers in Honduras to grow and sell fruit at their local market.

$30 could buy you an ER DVD Boxset OR a First Aid kit for a village in Haiti.

$73 could buy you a new mobile phone OR a new mobile health clinic to care for AIDS orphans in Uganda.

$2400 could buy you a second generation High Definition TV OR schooling for an entire generation of school children in an Angolan village.

I love this thing, it shows quickly that even those of us who are (in my case by choice) living the low income life currently (while i finish study)
are STILL in the top 12 % of the richest people on earth.

Amazing

Money converts to items of value. Value costs more in some areas than others. This does not take into account the local "cost of living." In a trip I made to Mexico, I bought a caramel apple for 5 cents. The same caramel apple in my area costs 2 dollars.
