34. A MORE GIVING ASIA
one movement at a time
"Nobody ever comes out and says they
are in favor of starving children, or
inadequate sanitation, or war and
conflict. And yet they persist. So how is it
that if no-one is for these things, and
everyone is against them, these
problems continue?"
Ray Suarez
Notes de l'éditeur
Welcome
World Giving Index 2011. As a region, Asia has seen the largest growth in overall giving.It polled a total of 153,000 people, of which at least 500 are Singaporeans.This is the second time the survey was conducted.Participants were asked three questions: whether they had given money, volunteered their time, or helped a stranger, all in the preceding month.Mr Laurence Lien, chief executive of Singapore's National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre, told my paper that the findings show that "giving is not a way of life in Singapore yet".
What is a movement ? It is ….. Let me tell you a story of a movement
Since the arrival of Web 2.0, we have seen how crowdsourcing, collaboration, accessibility and community has changed the way in which we share, receive and consume information. As a result, the Webtoday is poised to connect the world together and try to solve some of the global issues that plagues our society.Now if we take the best characteristics and apply it to philanthropy, “What would Philanthropy 2.0 look like?”
Well, what we came across was thisWe get KIVA which provides microloans for the poorEach dot on the map symbolizes the geographic influence that the KIVA has madeWe also see UshahidiWhich aims to provide real time and accurate crisis news through mobile reporting Then we Have Free Rice, which lets people play games and their scores will be translated to grains of rice to be donatedAnd lastly, we have Twestival. Which pretty much invites people through twitter to meet at a social party and give to a charity So how do we put Singapore on this map? This is where GIVE.sg comes in to the picture.
What motivates Asia
The basics of giving remain the same in Asia as well. 4 main reasons why people give.
Did you know that just US$1 will provide a student in need with a brand new Room to Read book, published in their local mother language?
In 2012, I joined critical mass.

Combine Tech to amplify it using platforms for changemakers
People want giving to be more social. Personal lifestyle that people of proud of as part of their personal image, and they want to tell their friends and family, it's not arrogance but pride
First thing you realize is more people empowered to do things create better results
The second thing we see is more creative ideas come up which makes it even more fun
