"Every moment of every day we can bring this consciousness to our choices about our money, our time and our talents to take a stand for what we believe in." --Lynne Twist
Saving Lives, One Click at a Time
For a decade now, Khushroo Poacha has stood by the sole belief that to do good work you don't need money. Poacha runs indianblooddonors.com, a site that lets over 50,000 blood donors and patients in need of blood connect with each other almost instantaneously -- all without cash donations. His site is perhaps a classic example of what the Internet is truly capable of, but more importantly, it is a reflection of a single human being's desire to make a difference to this world. Last year Poacha responded to venture capitalists who argued that it wasn't possible to sustain an endeavor without money: "I pointed out that Mother Teresa had no revenue model when she started the Missionaries of Charity. If you want to do good work, you simply do it."
