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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
