    Dear Reader,

    Between August 15th and August 25th of 2013 I asked 100 people how they would like to help 1,000 people.

    The following pages contain the unedited answers from 100 people.

    The question was posted to Amazon Mechanical Turk - www.mturk.com. Each person who answered the question received $.10 for an ans

    Ten days. Ten cents. One hundred ways to help one thousand people.

    Where do we go next? Would you like to help? Contact me with your thoughts, favorite answers or ideas.

    Anything is possible,

    "i would like to build a new business meanwhile starting a juice factory which gives employement to

    exactly 1000 people in our region

    produced fruits are harvested and transported to plant and then we made juice of those fruits and

    sell it in this process i need 1000 people and i help them by providing employement to the youth....."

    "Dear admin thank for giving me a wonderful chance to say my idea.

    You can give life to 1000+ people by employing them. Just buy a farm land for about 500 acres. Buy

    in the rate of 2 Lakhs or lesser per Acre. Separate 500 acre in to 5 equal parts. Lay Curry Leaves Plant for

    300 acres, which needs less maintenance. In balace 200 acres lay grass for goats and cattle's which is

    also needs less maintenance. There is a global demand for grass in the farms.

    Export the Curry Leaves either by dried or by fresh form. In the name of company itself get the

    Exporter code. There is global demand for Curry Leaves, especially in USA.

    Then take the list of Top 100 cattle farms and sell the grass to the farms. Use your own transport

    vehicle for transferring Grasses to Farms.

    * You get huge profit by Exporting Curry Leaves (need less water & easily cultivated)

    * You can get huge profit by selling Grass to farms (many Farms in-need of Grass for their farms)

    * Using your own vehicle will a another way to get income.

    If you used the above method, You are the one of the Person who saves agriculture. You are one of

    the person who employs so many people. You are the one of the person who slow downs Global

    warming. You are the one of the person who reduce the demand rate for grass for cattle. Simply you are

    the Living God for Poor and cattle.

    For doing above process you no need experience.

    This is my opinion. Hope it will useful for someone.

    Once again Thank you very much for giving this wonderful chance for me."

    "Money is the root of all evil. Truer words have never been spoken. For the almighty dollar, brothers

    have killed brothers, sons have slain their fathers, and daughters will readily betray their mothers. What

    I have in mind would help more than a thousand people, it would equalize the masses worldwide. An

    inherited billionaire is no better a person than an independent farmer on some obscure pacific island.

    To split hairs, the farmer would probably make a better human. He has more skill than the

    billionaire, he has much more motivation to provide for his loved ones, as they benefit directly from the

    work of his hands, the sweat of his brow.

    If I had my way to help people, I would do away with the current standard of economy. It seems my

    views are more socialist than capitalist. Firstly, we must understand that all things begin with

    knowledge, once we know what needs to be done, we figure how to do these things, and finally, it gets

    done.

    Take the Amish communities for example. They are a hearty, and strong people, free of the

    materials we allow to enslave ourselves. When a family is in need of repairs for their home, or a home to

    start with, they band together and build as a community.

    Some may say my mind frame would regress our people into the stone age. I would think that

    perfectly fine. Not only would we benefit as a race of people, but our planet would also benefit.

    In conjunction with reforming the way we see money, I feel the entire race of people must do away

    with fire-arm weapons. Long before the pistol was invented, great countries rose and fell at the sword's

    tip. Guns allow people to kill one another at a distance, this has desensitized us to the mortality of

    others. With not a single gun in the world, you would need a bow weapon to maximize the distance of

    your kill.

    Energy surrounds us, and we know exactly how to tap into that energy. Nicola Tesla invented a

    machine that could transmit energy through open air, free of wires. Free. Why then, hasn't the world's

    leaders developed a grid network of Tesla Reactors to provide the world free, abundant energy. If you

    feel the Tesla coil method is ineffective, I challenge you to rival the sun. Solar panels are cheap, with an

    initiative from our governments, we could have every structure built to absorb, harness, and

    redistribute the sun's power.

    I feel that people with knowledge and know how have a responsibility to the universe to pass their

    understanding along as far as it will be carried. In an ideal world, we still have our technologies, the ones

    that improve the quality of life. I have heard of an engine that runs on something called heavy water. It

    supposedly doesn't need anything more than a refill of water, so I ask you, why isn't this pollution free

    item available? Because once its out, there's no longer any money that can come from it.

    People withhold life saving medications, and treatments, due to the issue of money. Money is

    nothing more than a physical manifestation of one person's motivation. If there where no dollars to be

    had, no one would feel poorer than another person, there wouldn't be any cause for envy, there would

    be, ultimately, equality.

    Everything we could ever need, or want, has already been given to us. It surrounds us on all sides.

    Yet we have evolved to destroy these things, and I personally feel money has been the prime motivator

    in this process."

    I WILL DO IT BY GIVING JOB OPPORTUNITIES BY OPENING A RECRUITING AGENCY IN MY TOWN

    AND WITH THE CONNECTIONS I HAVE IN MY LAND AND OVERSEAS I WILL HELP THEM TO OBTAIN A

    SUITABLE JOB FOR EVERYBODY I MEET.

    "why only thousand? By giving free education to everyone , not regarding caste, status etc. in

    various fields. Like in U.S. if education is made free , everyone will be educated and the basic needs like

    food and clothing is made affordable to everyone,each one can lead a better life.

    This is the basic requirement for every humanbeing.Everything else comes next, like discoveries

    , inventions ect , ect."

    first i will capture my school,college,close and business friends, then i will create a account for

    helping 1000 people its for cumulating my friends fund to help that members. then we will elabrate the

    link by advertising in facebook and other social medias hope other kind hearted friends will come and

    join finally the number ( 1000 ) will be increated can able to help more than 1000 people.

    I would do the exact opposite of what all other manufacturers and retailers are doing. I would take a

    useful object with an expired patent, manufacture it with incredible attention to detail, a huge amount

    of field testing, improving it with test feedback and failure analysis, and actually do serious quality

    control of every unit produced. In short, I would help today's thousands of frustrated and disappointed

    customers of every product category finally have a good experience with a proven product that is built

    to last as long as possible. I would end customer exploitation and planned obsolescence in hopes of

    damaging other businesses who cut corners and lie to customers to make sales. When selling the

    product, I would encourage direct sales from the factory to end the corruption of retail markups and

    authorized dealer exclusivity. I would use science to improve the product, not to design it to fail on

    schedule. Such action would finally make shopping and owning things rewarding, not sources of stress,

    confusion, and disappointment. The product might be something as simple as a box of cereal that is the

    same size as the average box in 1965, with cereal completely filling the bag. It might be a simple, one

    speed bicycle made with very strong axles and hubs that are over-engineered instead of doomed to fail

    quickly. Any existing product has huge room for improvement. The disappointment must stop. I would

    market the product by pointing out how corrupt most businesses are and how ruinous it is to waste

    money, time, material, and emotional health on replacing weak, flimsy products.

    "first i would like to say there are two types of people in this world. first type of people who are rich

    and they have moolah money which always increases and the other type of people's are poor people

    who doesn't have money and they have earn everyday(daily wage earners ). poor people's always get

    effected.

    now i would say , we can help 1000 people or more by many ways , there are 100's of government

    welfare schemes to help poor peoples and meant for poor peoples, my making one big campaign and

    with help of some volunteers who should have enough knowledge to make aware others. we can help

    more than 1000 peoples just make them aware of various welfare schemes which are meant for them.

    Thank You"

    I would teach people about how to budget their money. Most programs really only track your

    expenses and income but are not teaching budgeting. I found a great software program called YNAB

    (You Need A Budget) which shows you how to budget. It is basically modeled after the old fashioned

    cash in an envelope for your different categories. You enter income you have received ( NO Forecasting)

    and then you budget it into different categories you have set up. Say you budget $100 to groceries and

    $20 to restaurant but then something comes up and you spend $40 at the restaurant. You then have to

    decide where to take that money from. So you take the extra $20 away from groceries and have to

    make $80 last until you are paid again. This software comes with incredible support. There are all kinds

    of videos to teach you how to deal with the set up, credit cards, over drafts, cash etc. They also offer

    multiple webinars all the time at all different times. They have a very supportive forum if you have any

    questions or concerns and a place to start your own journal. There are incredible success stories of

    people with large amounts of debts. I could go on and on but this software would and does help so

    many people you just can't go wrong. I do not work for the company or have any involvement in it, just

    a consumer of it.

    "Let's start with 1000 people who need the help. One thing, not the only thing that is important, is

    computer skills for youngsters growing up. My suggestion is this:

    Someone who has the skill and tenacity to get businesses to donate money, start by trying to get

    major corporations to donate money enough for the project. Instead of classrooms we would use air

    conditioned trailers, so the trailers could go from one neighborhood to another. Inside each trailer has

    10 computer systems, and some typical peripherals like printers and scanners, and age appropriate

    software.

    The emphasis would be on computer skills, not just game playing but some games would be OK.

    The computer tasks would be age appropriate and skill appropriate, to keep the youngsters interested.

    This is somewhat like a computer camp, but the trailers go to different parts of the city, since some

    youngsters may not have transportation to get far.

    So 10 students at a time, 100 times over would involve 1000 people. Can't be that expensive, but of

    course instructors and equipment cost something.

    p.s., a neighbor had such a trailer come to his house for his 10 year old son's birthday, but the

    there were either game systems or computers with games inside."

    I would like to get one acre of land in the outskirt of a city and dig ponds and wells to get water. I

    would register a society with the help of like minded people and use the land to raise fruit trees. With

    water available and rain water harvesting I will be planting fruit trees like Mango,guava,papaya,plantain

    and jack fruit which are cheaper to grow and maintain.During the season we will preserve the fruit in

    organic way and market it as jam,jellies and fruit pulp.A food technologist will be hired to get advice on

    the same matter. We will be giving training and franchise advice for setting up small farms with multiple

    fruit trees,wherever space is available.

    One can easily find out the list of people who are in need of help form the senses department of his

    local administrative office or can conduct self evaluation among the public. On finding this out we can

    plan any type of help for those in need in any field such as education, health or employment. Some one

    may not have shelter of his own and for such families I can provide a humble home and for those who

    lags in education I may provide better education for them and those in need medical attention that also

    can be arranged . Finding a way out to provide job is after giving them enough training either in

    technical or in administrative side as per the individuals talent only can help. I don't mind to go to any

    extent to help such people and always will be delighted to do so.

    "If I were to help 1000 people, I would teach them a skill that they can use to improve their lives.

    Baking is an example. I could teach them to bake bread or to make cakes and pastries so that they can

    feed themselves and their families and make healthier snacks. If they know how to bake, they can also

    put up a bakery or a store wherein they can sell their products.

    Another thing I could teach them is planting and gardening. It would be great if 1000 people grew

    vegetables in their backyards and had organic produce that they can cook or sell. Having more plants

    would also be good for the environment and would promote a love for nature. They could then pass on

    or teach these skills to their brood/children, friends, and neighbors, so that more people would benefit

    and lead productive lives."

    I would like to help the poor by educating the children who were not able to study because of lack

    of study materials. The way to accomplish that is by collecting the books from the rich people who are

    having large number of books.

    "I WOULD HELP 1000 PEOPLE BY GIVING THEM JOB IN AN ENTREPRENEURIAL VENTURE.THIS

    ENTREPRENEURIAL VENTURE WOULD HELP THE PEOPLE WHO ARE AMONG THE ECONOMICALLY

    WEAKER SECTIONS OF THE SOCIETY.THIS

    VENTURE WOULD HELP FOR THE UPLIFTMENT OF THE POOR AND THE NEEDY."

    "Actually i already help my Church by doing this one ""Shop and Share"". I do buy and sell and every

    time I make a sale on each product 10% of the profits will be given to the Church Fund.

    Another is sharing your ups and down stories through blogs or forums for those who want an

    inspiration to do business also. From there they can also share on how their success story and how they

    also help people using business or social entrepreneur.

    Thanks! I hope it helps."

    Cooperative Banking: the basic idea is to provide start-up capital for either the unemployed,

    underemployed, or current employees unsatisfied with present working conditions. Often capital is

    difficult to attain if you have marginal collateral to begin with. What cooperative banking encourages is a

    10

    reversal of the usual rules of banking itself. Interest would be minimal, capital distribution would be

    small, but adequate for a small business. The only condition would be a lending amongst equals,

    meaning that equal decision-making about the funds should persist throughout the lifetime of the

    business. The reason why this is important is that it removes the expected incentive structure. When all

    workers, now owners, have an equal say in the decisions of the business, the question is no longer about

    maximizing profit, but maximizing profit per worker. In short, it is the democratization of work. 1000

    people would be capable of beginning several businesses on the micro level, and possibly, if locally

    organized, could federate. A federation of worker-owned and controlled enterprises would, I will argue,

    reverse the trend of present day market failures produced by large corporations. The decisions are

    different, the goals are different, and since workers are also community members, the values would be

    different from those of large multi-national corporations that are merely looking for a quick sale.

    I would like to help them through creativity. Human being is creative animal. Creativity gives the

    greatest joy. Almost all are creative in their own way. I will help them nurture their creativity and make

    them earn for their living through their creativity.

    For this first of all i would identify the interest and the skills of those 1000 people then i grouped

    their interest as a whole . After cateogorizing their interest in different fields. I will alot them the work

    accordingly. The business that i am going to start is of carpet making. Those people who are having the

    knowledge of machine they will run that, those who are illiterate they will take care of security and

    other things. Those who are good in communication will work as a sales man. Some may work as a

    trainer, supervisor , manager, etc. In this way the business may also run and all may got job.

    1 in 4 women in the United States alone have been sexually assaulted, while countless male victims

    suffer in silence due to societal stigma concerning male on male and female on male sexual assault. As a

    form of violence, it also affects victims' families and spouses. Survivors are frequently revictimized by

    police, the judicial system, as well as a society that frequently blames survivors for causing their own

    rapes. In order to help 1000 people, I would form an advocacy group that can help survivors and their

    families through the emotional and financial difficulty of pressing charges and going through a trial, in

    order to increase the likelihood that perpetrators of sexual assault will be brought to justice.

    "Small businesses often face a variety of problems related to their size. A frequent cause of

    bankruptcy is undercapitalization. This is often a result of poor planning rather than economic

    conditions - it is common rule of thumb that the entrepreneur should have access to a sum of money at

    least equal to the projected revenue for the first year of business in addition to his anticipated expenses.

    For example, if the prospective owner thinks that he will generate $100,000 in revenues in the first year

    with $150,000 in start-up expenses, then he should have not less than $250,000 available. Failure to

    provide this level of funding for the company could leave the owner liable for all of the company's debt

    should he end up in bankruptcy court, under the theory of undercapitalization.

    12

    In addition to ensuring that the business has enough capital, the small business owner must also be

    mindful of contribution margin (sales minus variable costs). To break even, the business must be able to

    reach a level of sales where the contribution margin equals fixed costs. When they first start out, many

    small business owners underprice their products to a point where even at their maximum capacity, it

    would be impossible to break even. Cost controls or price increases often resolve this problem.

    Small businesses can encounter several problems related to Corporate social responsibility due to

    characteristics inherent in their construction. Owners of small businesses often participate heavily in the

    day-to-day operations of their companies. This results in a lack of time for the owner to coordinate

    socially responsible efforts. Additionally, a small business owner's expertise often falls outside the realm

    of socially responsible practices contributing to a lack of participation. Small businesses also face a form

    of peer pressure from larger forces in their respective industries making it difficult to oppose and work

    against industry expectations.Furthermore, small businesses undergo stress from shareholder

    expectations. Because small businesses have more personal relationships with their patrons and local

    shareholders they must also be prepared to withstand closer scrutiny if they want to share in the

    benefits of committing to socially responsible practices or not. and have been established as a main

    driving force behind job creation the quality of the jobs these businesses create has been called into

    question. Small businesses generally employ individuals from the Secondary labor market. As a result, in

    the U.S. wages are 49% higher for employees of large firms. Additionally, many small businesses struggle

    or are unable to provide employees with benefits they would be given at larger firms. Research from the

    U.S. Small Business Administration indicates that employees of large firms are 17% more likely to receive

    benefits including salary, paid leave, paid holidays, bonuses, insurance, and retirement plans. Both lower

    wages and fewer benefits combine to create a job turnover rate among U.S. small businesses that is 3

    times higher than large firms. Employees of small businesses also must adapt to the higher failure rate

    of small firms. In the U.S. 69% last at least 2 years, but this percentage drops to 51% for firms reaching 5

    years in operation. The U.S. Small Business Administration counts companies with as much as $35.5

    million in sales and 1,500 employees, depending on the industry. Outside government, companies with

    I would like to set up a small scale unit of food processing. I would like to engage people especially

    women to make pickles, papad, grind the spices, potato chips and the other seasonal products which are

    tasty and are in high demand in the market as no one wants to prepare them in their home but relish

    eating them.Some people can also be engaged in packing them and some in selling them. By doing this I

    will be able to give employment oppurtunities to many.

    Instead of attempting to help 1,000 peope individually, I would attempt to help them all in one large

    and communicable swipe! I believe in private micro-loans that can be given by one person or by a

    business to an individual with a big dream who may not have the resources at the time. This one

    person's idea along with a micro-loan to get that idea going may be the impetus for the bettering of

    thousands. Maybe a woman in Africa wants to start a small factory employing 50 women to create

    textiles. This micro-loan could begin that business, begin to pay employees, those employees' families

    would benefit from the newly found income and it could expand outward at exponential speed until

    thousands of people have then benefitted by one small loan given to the right person.

    If youre going to reach the most financially disadvantaged and excluded you need to get

    creative about generating income. Social enterprises may be able to develop revenue models that

    include direct and sponsored sales, franchising, and consulting services both nationally and

    internationally.

    There is power in vulnerability. If you can let people in on the fact that youre learning as you

    go, youre seen as a better entrepreneur. Youre showing people youre a nimble

    organization that is going to be flexible and adjustable to any challenges that youre facing.

    In every successful startup Ive launched, advised, or simply observed up close, there has

    always been (at least) one absolutely critical assumption, built into the original business model, which

    turned out to be completely wrong. Reacting decisively to this learning and setting out a bold new

    direction is your job as an entrepreneur and leader."

    In order to help 1,000 people using a business, creative or social entrepreneurial venture I would

    first look at the 1,000 people that I would like to help. Something as simple as creating an app that lists

    what your gas milage is could help a 1,000 people but is there any social justice in that? However,

    developing a new sustainable industry in a third world country would have a far greater social impact on

    both the community and humanity in general. I would strive to build some sort of manufacturing facility

    The way that I would like to help at least 1000 people is to help spread knowledge about health. I

    have a passion for health psychology and making the public aware of certain risks and behaviors. For

    example, I would create advertisements that inform people about the spread of HIV because some

    people surprisingly aren't aware of how this happens. Some people also aren't aware of how much high

    fructose corn syrup they consume. To accomplish this, I could use Youtube or buy out space in certain

    magazines. But going to grad school would be the best way to help me accomplish this.

    I am not very eloquent but I am passionate about homeless people and other's living on the

    street's...some by choice and some not. If I could or had the money I would provide shower and sleeps

    stations all along the main roads so that they could at least have the basic neccessity of sleeping and

    showering and oh, forgot bathroom stations to. Most restaurants won't let you use the bathrooms

    unless you are purchasing something from there. It makes me so sad to see so many homeless people

    out there. I was homeless one time with two little kids and vow to never ever be homeless again. I am

    disabled but I do my best to make ends meet and figure out how to take care of myself like recycle etc.

    Find tasks or things to do on the internet for money. May not be much but it helps. But there are so

    many homeless out there that are mentally ill and are not capable of even doing that. I just want to

    scoop them all up and help them out. No one on this earth should ever be denies their basic rights as a

    human

    "Real time business ideas can be framed if we have adequate data in hand. What I am talking is

    trending of business on a particular place. Let us take, for example, there are no or very few hardware

    shops in a locality. Based on a real time survey an opportunity can be framed and this data can be used

    by people to establish a business. This process takes so long and requires lot of effort. If the government

    supports such an idea, there would be employment for lot of people.

    Initial step would be identifying target people groups

    Phase 1 would be conducting business surveys

    Phase 2 would be categorizing the surveys & results

    Phase 3 would be performing the trending

    Phase 4 would be converting raw trend data to presentable online repository of information (may

    be this can be outsourced)

    This is how I help at least 1000 people."

    Giving good product in less price may help the people and Giving awareness with some ads or films

    may help people.

    If I could I would start a homeless shelter in St. Louis. While I haven't researched if there are any

    shelters in St. Louis, there aren't any major ones that I'm aware of. I would start this shelter and hope to

    work by getting outside donations and various funding. I would work to help these citizens get back up

    on their feet so they can establish a better life. By providing a good framework for homeless people to

    reestablish themselves, it will benefit the community. We could work by doing something along the

    lines of factory work. While it may seem boring, at least it is income in order for them to reenter a

    normal life. The factory can be something that will also go to good social causes. One such cause would

    be manufacturing heaters and air-conditioners for those who are suffering from the extreme effects of

    Missouri weather. Obviously this would have to have some sort of financial backing, but with such great

    causes I wouldn't hesitate to believe that St. Louis business' would be on board to help.

    I'd plan to setup small scale industries in villages utilizing available Government schemes. I'd train

    and show route to live for the real needy. Thank you. :)

    so the people with dementia love where they are and don't feel like they area burden and a place where

    they feel safe and wanted instead of a place where they are locked away and don't understand why.

    To help 1,000 people I would host a workshop teaching basic life skills and frugal tips. I would teach

    them how to find and use coupons, combine coupons with sales, find free deals, and make the most out

    of a limited income. They would be taught basic cooking and household cleaning skills. At the end of the

    workshop, they would know enough to reduce their grocery budget by at least 50%. They would also

    know how to make healthy balanced meals for themselves and their families. This would help them to

    live better even if they are below the poverty line. I would show them the vast number of free resources

    available to get stuff for free. They would be given the knowledge necessary to live on less. I currently

    live on $800/month for a family of 3, without sacrificing anything. Passing on these tips and tricks would

    help others to live a more full life. The end of the program would encourage participants to offer up

    their own workshops to spread the knowledge on to others.

    I don't know if I could help all 1,000 people, but I could make a website for a good amount of them.

    Website design is something that I am confident and comfortable doing. If any number of the people

    have a growing business, social group, etc., I could help them in making a functional website that will

    help them expand and open up their ideas to the many others in the world that would like to hear about

    it.

    By building an useful homes, I can helped them to stay there. First I asked the cash as donation from

    the good sponsors from media or any other social people. Making good advertisements about my home

    will create honesty people who can help these people. But without the politicians help, it is not possible.

    changed my life, I know that there exist charities that do this already and I think it is a great idea.

    Good Luck with your site."

    Networking is a huge part of life. I would find a way to network with a thousand people to help

    them achieve what they are looking for. for example, have a website where people can post they need

    a mechanic, or a dentist, or they have services they are starting (photogrpahy, 31 sales, pampered chef,

    etc) The people can cross reference what they have to offer with what they are looking for. There could

    also be an individual (or group of individuals) who monitor personal information to help join up people

    who may be in the market for specific services or need extra help making the connection. If people

    went on to a website and filled out basic information and what they are looking for, a matching service

    could put people together.

    To help 1,000 people using business and creativity or ventures. I would do it by using business for

    media advertising and local advertising, which includes a billboard, posters, and handout cards. I would

    try to offer people some part time jobs, which would include being a clerk, janitor, gardener, and other

    maintenance work.

    I would volunteer my time at every local sporting event that raises money for charity. I would want

    to provide the athletes with food, water, support and attention if they are distressed. They are putting

    their bodies through such challenge to raise money for a good amuse, they should be supported as well.

    "I would create a program that reaches out to businesses (both small and large) and requests that

    they donate a small percentage of their profits to the impoverished people of their community in

    exchange for an advertisement acknowledging their participation in the project.

    The businesses would gain credibility as heroes of their community, potentially directing new

    business in their direction; and the ~1000 people in the area who needed assistance would receive it

    due to the aforementioned generosity of the businesses.

    This would be a win/win solution for both parties: Generating revenue for the businesses, and

    assisting those in need of help."

    they could help contribute or donate food in order to feed 1,000 people if not more in sort of soup

    kitchen. Local businesses could help as well and all the food could support poor or down on their luck

    people.

    "if I was to help 1000 people I would give them a two week, all expenses paid vacation anywhere

    they wanted to go. in the package would include all there living expenses paid in advance like rent and

    housing maintenance. the deal would also include all family member they wanted to take. in my opinion

    vacations are not a luxury, but healing tool for the mind that stimulates creativity. my guess is more

    than half of the 1000 people would come back with brilliant ideas that could make a lot of money.

    being new millionaires after developing their businesses, they would give another 1000 people the

    same vacation."

    I would get a business to go and donate food/services to the homeless people and give back to the

    part of the community that so desperately needs it the most. I would contact a company in the local

    area, and try to put on a "Help Atlanta" event and raise money to put up booths, games, food, and

    companies in the area an opportunity to give back to the community that they are in. It would be like a

    block party, but in an urban setting.

    Start a Company for export agricultural goods, that will help farmers workers and many peoples

    I would like to help 1000 people by creating a small industry where i would ask the people to create

    handicraft items or creative stuffs that can be sold in the market. Not only the people would be

    employed but also the work would be easier for them. Since the handicraft items are always in demand

    among the customers, it would be easier for the people to earn a livelihood for themselves.
