I decided to post a copy of my LiveJournal entry here (just this ONE time, I promise), despite the fact that most of you here on SPOTM probably already know who Shawn is and what he's doing.
Why? Because I CAN. And because this supports a really Noble Cause. And because it's good to try and end World Suck on such a large scale. And... because it's very easy to copy/paste (and slightly edit) a post I've already made to this place where even more people have a chance to read it.
Again, my apologies if this annoys you. But I still think it's worth it to spread the word of what Shawn is doing, so I'm willing to risk your annoyance. (Even if many of you already know about him...)
----------------------------------------------
Okay... Just this once I'm going to do something I don't normally do. Mainly just because I CAN. (And doing what we can is usually the way to make the World a better place. In a REAL sense, not just a sappy feel-good sense.)
This isn't a normal PogoTribe post, so my advance apologies for that. But the more people who know about this guy, then the more likely it will be that we can collectively reduce the levels of World Suck in our world today.
Read, watch, learn, donate. I'm only sharing this info with you this one time (and promise not to do it again), but you will see that it is TOTALLY worth one little 'spam' message here if we can use this info to save lives all over the globe.
And yes, you can literally save lives by doing what you're able to help Shawn in what is rapidly becoming his life's work. Literally. Lives. Big stuff, here...
-----------------------------
Been reading about and watching videos of an amazing guy who's doing all he can to help people who REALLY need it, and who has a goal to eliminate extreme poverty in underdeveloped countries. He is REALLY worth supporting and definitely worth following/learning more about.
Once you start watching this guy, you just can't stop...

P.S. - I've made donations on uncultured.com (to the operating costs fund) and I urge EVERYONE to donate whatever they can. Shawn isn't some faceless "charity" doing who-knows-what. He's learning WHAT people need to survive (by ASKING them) and personally putting it in their hands in places where something as simple as clean water or a mosquito net can mean the difference between life and death. If you care about anything at all this year, it should be THIS that you care about and support in any way you can. Even if it's just subscribing to his YouTube channel to help generate ad revenue for the work that he's doing...
Also, you can help SPREAD THE WORD on your own websites/blogs/IM's/etc.
That is all. Thank you for your patience, and have a good rest of the day.
