Hey, it will only take you five minutes to produce an ultrashort story, and it could earn you the fame of being mentioned on this very spot. 


Here are some examples of Extremely Short and Cool Charity Stories :


"After galloping our camels around the pyramids we visited an empoverished family in a nearby slum area and donated them silk and a sewing machine enabling them to generate some income"


"We were rafting down the river and stopped by this little Indian village where we ended up staying one month, building a community hospital together with a bearded idealist."
"It was not easy to reach this remote village in eastern Bolivia, and the alligators seemed to look curious when we arrived there to teach the locals how to brew a proper beer so that they would become self-sustainable."



"The other night our host had  shown us a fragment of a bombshell. It would take over 100 years to clear them here in Laos. We rented a strong 4x4 to visite the remotest areas and teach the locals how to deal with those UXOs."

We are sure you can do better...

I looked out of the window of the bus. He was waving at me, though the bus hadn’t even closed the doors yet. Saying goodbye is as fundamental a part of travelling as is meeting new people, but the intensity is so different it seems unfair. Leaving is so painful, sweet and sour. Sour cause it stings, and sweet because it means there were good moments shared, memories of our youth to be treasured, though many will fade until we’re old enough to remember again.
