Ok, ok, enough Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, but seriously, do you ever have days where you just feel energized or excited to be here? That's the feeling coming off the (previously posted) Idea Camp. There was so much good information to be heard, but more than that, an over-arching feeling that we can make a difference.
I think I was most impacted by the message of Scott Harrison and charity: water. Listening to him talk about his passion to bring clean water to poverty-stricken people (did you know 1 in 6 people don't have access to clean water?), I realized my naivete was not just embarassing, but kind of shameful.
I'm so used to walking over to the tap and, voila, clean water comes out, but the reality for 1.1 billion people is the exact opposite. Not to say that charity: water was into guilting people into feeling bad about this. No, actually just the opposite -- they really just had an extraordinary vision to allow people to realize their good fortune in access to proper sanitation and then move that energy into helping someone without that access.
There's so much more to be said about The Idea Camp and all the things that came out of it. If you listened in to any or all, what did you get out of it? Love to hear.
In the meantime, check out Harrison and charity: water. You won't regret it.
