Take Part Takes Note
Thanks so much to TakePart for blogging about SmallCanBeBig. It’s true: all the donations go right to the families. It’s true: if you don’t have a dollar now, follow us on Twitter to see family stories, for when you do have a dime or two to spare (@SmallCanBeBig). And it’s true: our founder was struck by the simplicity of small loans to families who could use it in a big way.
But what we love about this is that it’s a reminder social media networking and micro-giving is not a zero-sum game. Blogging, tweeting, commenting, or otherwise spreading the word about admirable causes doesn’t make fewer people go to your site. It increases awareness, fuels passions, and motivates ACTION, which benefits all causes. So go ahead! Retweet, reblog, praise and pat-on-the-back. It’s a great day when more people know about SmallCanBeBig, TakePart, and other worth-while causes.
And, above all, remember that small actions (not just donations!) can be big too. Take the time to tell one more person about something you are passionate about today, and make the world a more active place, for the families on our site, for the next generation, and for you.
Remember, small can [and will] be big :)
