A couple of months ago I joined the 1%Club, a great initiative and superb alternative to the mainstream NGO’s that only waste most of your donations to overhead costs.

These guys have a very simple program: 99% of your money should roll, just donate the leftover 1% to combat worldwide poverty. On their website people can “add” projects anywhere in the world (from farmers equipment for Ghanese women or Fruitrees in Burundi). It’s basically a marketplace for small-scale projects and people who’d like to donate money but want to know where thats going to.

To raise awareness for the 1%Club they’ve started a guerilla campaign all over Holland. One of the things they’re doing is rolling a two-meter eurocoin through busy shopping streets in all big cities. I joined them for an hour or two in Amsterdam. Not my best shots ever but enough to get your attention perhaps!
