Have you ever taken a deep breath after you read the news about the inhumane and atrocious conditions in which children in poor countries live?

Have you ever wished with all your heart to be able to satiate other people’s hunger and mend their emotional and physical scars?

Have you ever wanted to change the world but have little time and money to do so?

If your answer to at least one of these questions is yes, I’ve got something for you.

You can make an impact through these three free charity apps. Here is the list:

1. Share The Meal

“With a tap on your smartphone, you can “share the meal” with a child in need. It costs only US $ 0.50 to feed one child for a day.”

Share The Meal is the world’s first mobile application developed to fight against global hunger. This initiative was created by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and has been impacting hundreds of lives.

If you desire to share a meal right now, you can choose between feeding a child for one day ($0.50), for one week ($3.50), for one month ($15.00), for three months ($45.00), or for a year ($182.50). On the other hand, if you are devoted to ending hunger and have the financial resources to take aid further, then you can click on the “Give Monthly” button.

In addition, you are able to choose between helping Rohingya children, alleviating Syrian children refugees’ pain or supporting children who are fighting famine in Nigeria.

Log in. Tap. Done.

It’s that easy.

2. Charity Miles

“Move with purpose. Earn money for charity.”

What if I told you that every single time that you walk to your 9 a.m. class, grab a coffee with a friend, go to the gym or walk your neighbor’s cute dog, you can actually save a life?

In another time in history, people would think I’d gone crazy.

Truth is, we live in the 21st century, and this, my friend, is entirely possible.

How?

Charity Miles is a socially-driven, for-profit company that created an app that enables users to earn money for a cause when they move.

Turn your phone on. Log in. Choose from 1 of their 37 charity partners like Operation Smile, Save the Children, Pencils of Promise or The American Diabetes Association and get moving.

3. Donate a Photo


You take a photo, we make it look good.

Wait… WHAT?

Yup, you read that right. Something as simple as taking a picture can help individuals all around the globe.

This application is strikingly simple to use.

First, explore the cause categories. The categories are women’s and children’s health, healthy families, health workforce, environmental health, global disease challenges, essential surgery, education and quality, and emergency relief.

Second, choose a nonprofit.

Then, shoot a picture.

Share it.

For every photo you share through this app, Johnson & Johnson donates $1.00 to a nonprofit of your choice. (You can donate one photo per day.)

If you are the type of person who wants to make a difference,

You are welcome.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
