Small Beginnings ~ Huge Return

When Bob Pierce, founder of World Vision, made his first trip to Asia in 1947, he barely had enough money to get to Hawaii, much less all the way to China. Today, World Vision offers support to over 100 million people in 96 countries. When disaster strikes in nearly any part of the globe, World Vision is often the first organization on the ground to mobilize help. Small beginnings ~ huge return.

When Nathan George started Trade as One in his living room in 2006, he likely could not have imagined that today he would be helping thousands of people who otherwise live on $1.00 a day in places such as India, Africa, China and Guatemala. Small beginnings ~ huge return.

When Pockets of Dreams was founded in 2006 with pocket change (see story here) we could not have imagined we would be able to help women and children in places such as Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Nicaragua and the Philippines within our first four years alone. Small beginnings ~ huge return.

World Vision, Trade as One, Pockets of Dreams...what do we have in common? Genuine care and compassion for others, even those we will never meet, and the absolute certainty that we can make a difference. Will you join us? Take a small beginning by visiting any of our websites ~ and expect a huge return.

Wow! I like it. I think many things get started in a seemingly small way and then with time they become very large!! Even Huge!!!
