Non-Profit Organization
Muhammad Yunus, Ph.D. of Bangladesh earned the highly acclaimed Nobel Peace Prize for developing and founding the ‘microfinance’ concept and the Grameen Bank.As I was in the process of redesigning my personal site, I thought why just go through a redesign, why don’t I redevelop the site from the ground up. The new design planning is complete but I haven’t figured out how to redevelop the purpose, the goal of the site. Kwak.org is currently used as a personal homepage but instead, share the site with other people with the same surname as I. But there is more. While I was brainstorming with such an idea, I thought to myself, “why not take a step further and redevelop the site to use it for an organization!”
A brilliant idea doesn’t just pop in your head. During the senior year in college, I wanted to create a non-profit organization to benefit a certain group of unprivileged people. I wasn’t worried about where to obtain the source of capital for the start-up or where to get find members with the same vision, I simply don’t know what kind of an organization I desire to start. For instance, a nationwide organizations like the LiveStrong, a Lance Armstrong Foundation (cancer) or the Michael J. Fox Foundation (Parkinson’s disease), both individuals experienced or are experiencing life threatening disease and have devoted their all to help everyone that are going through the same. Now that is passion. There are smaller non-profit organizations that concentrates on the local neighborhoods or victims of such and such, the overall purpose and mission statement is to unite the people to help each other to live a better life.
God bless.
