The Power To Change The World In The Palm Of Your Hand

ABC News did a great special on The Extraordinaries, ‘the power to change the world in the palm of your hand’.


How can you turn your spare time into social good?

How about helping Big Cat Rescue locate big cat abusers and illegal breeders? Or helping First Aid Corps build a map of defibrillators (AEDs) around the world to save lives? Perhaps tagging photos to help battle climate change for 1Sky? Or maybe writing a message of encouragement to help a child break out of poverty for Christel House?
