Hi every body,
Today, Iam going to talk about what i listened to which was Holden Karnofsky ,the cofounder of Givewell.net. This is a nonprofit charity website. He mentiones that volunteer time instead of money would be more valuable. By that point, you will get involve and will be excited and the main purpose of that is to donate. To make it more beneficial, we should search for a good cherity to donate in because we need to know where is our money goes. Therefore, we will trust that cherity and we will be more confidence.

Hope you will enjoy.
Thank you
I think you missing the point little bet, because he said do some research instead of volunteer. Some charities wants you to volunteer and make you excited than asks money to donate. then you end up not know where the money going and how they spending. His point was again instead of volunteering, do some research and find out how charities are spending donation money.
ReplyDeleteClick is correct - the interviewee argues that it's better to donate money than it is to volunteer time. But either way, it's a good idea to do some research.
ReplyDeleteI'm not in total agreement with Holden Karnofsky. I think that in some cases, volunteering is the only way some work can get done. For example, some people volunteer to sit with old people just to keep them company. That's beneficial for the older people, but probably not a job that could pay much.
