Looking around at the world today, tragedy and injustice happens all throughout the globe on a daily basis. Al Andrews (Improbable Philanthropist) saw the pain and wanted to be a part of the healing. Here is his story.
"If you have a dream that doesn't seem nearly impossible then your dream isn't big enough," Al Andrews exclaims to a crowd of three hundred as he shares his dream of being a philanthropist and his plan to achieve it. Al wanted to be a philanthropist; he wanted to spread his excessive wealth with several charities that allow men, women, and children to soar to their highest ability. The only shortcoming to this was that he didn't have excessive wealth. His dream was definitely big enough. It seemed nearly impossible. Al came up with a simple plan to help him gain the status of wealth necessary for philanthropy.
'Step 1. Start a business (in my case, write and publish a children's book).
Step 2. Make it into a successful business.
Step 3. Donate 100% of the net profits to support a number of pre selected projects around the world that helped men, women, and children "take flight."'
So, Al Andrews wrote
a children's book, found an illustrator, and self published the
masterpiece that would bring him the great wealth he had imagined. The
book is entitled "The Boy, the Kite, and the Wind" and it has already
raised $20,000 for one of the charities on his list. Andrew continues to
sell copies of his story, making his big dream more and more of a
reality every day.
