the ultimate social experiment

http://www.educate2escape.org/ultimate_social_experiment.html

Nearly 1 billion people live on less than $1 per day—yet the world has never been so prosperous. The world has enough money, resources and technology to end poverty.

Every year, 121 million children in third world countries do not receive the education they need to escape poverty. In an effort to increase awareness of this fact, a school will be built for children in poverty when this group reaches 1.21 million members.

When the number is reached, members of this group will be able to vote to determine where the school will be built between Sri Lanka, Sierra Leone, China or Kenya.

The fund will cover the entire cost of building the school and all of the infrastructures needed to run the school. The contribution will be made in this group’s name (Ultimate Social Experiment) through Free the Children (see Facebook page for more info).

Facebook is being used as a platform to increase awareness of poverty. Sure, the school could simply be financed but the belief is that a greater long-term impact can be made if others can take part at the same time. Who knows? Maybe one or two members in the group will contribute to social causes in the future after learning how easy it is to get involved.
There are over 132 million facebook users, meaning less than 1% need to join this group for a school to be built (currently 716,000 members)

To take part all you have to do is:

1 Join this Facebook group.

2 Click on “Invite People to Join” from the menu on the right.

3 Select all your friends (one more individual could increase awareness by hundreds or thousands of people).

4 Click on “Send invitation.”

It’s that simple.
