That quotation went right over my head.

I recently watched a doc called A Small Act. A bright kid from Kenya got sponsored by a Swedish charity donor in the 70's. He's now a human rights lawyer at the UN and he has created a charity that gives grants to (really) poor, smart kids like he once was. The documentary is an example of how important seemingly small actions of support are and how they can create extremely positive ripple effects.

I'm now sponsoring 2 poor children.
