If you had loads of money, and wanted to give some away to deserving people...

How would you determine who should get it? A long time ago, there was a TV show called "The Millionaire". On this show, a really rich guy decided to help people out by giving them each a million dollars. What would your criteria be for determing who should get the money, or would you just hand it out to anybody who happened along?

well i would go to some asian countries and give them money i know they really need help and also would send some money to african countries too. but i would prefer to see the person to whom im giving the money than to give it to an institution also to see the smile on those people faces. anyway i think that if all rich people gave a bit of their money there wouldnt exist so many poor people in the world already^^

Hello sweetlove forver. Thanks for responding. I think all the countries in the world could use some help. I guess it would depend on where you live. I, myself, believe that charity begins at home, so I would start in my home country. I would know all about the person who got the money, either from fhrst hand experience, or through an investigation of them. As far as organizations are concerned, it would depend. If I ever had money to give away, I would pick organizations that help children, like Make a Wish.

I do not think giving money is a solution. But if you pay for scholarships for students who learn very well but have no money and helping the elderly in homes especially designed is much better in my opinion

Both great ideas, cip. A lot of deverving young people can't afford higher education, so they would be appreciative. Helping the eldery, both in nursing homes and in their private homes would be admirable. Thanks for replying
