All tuckered out from a week of do-gooding? I know we are over at Mashable, having taken part in UN Week as well as our own Social Good Summit. Well, don’t slack off, friends — just ’cause the week is over doesn’t mean the job is done. That’s why this week’s YouTube roundup theme is: Do-Gooders.
(Yes, it is a silly word.)
Regardless, check out the below collection of do-gooding vids — some are serious and some are… not so serious (hint: drunken monkeys). Because laughter can be charity, right?
Tween CEO Driven to Success
Karen Hartline: Amiya is an inspiration, bringing joy and fun through dance to children in her town through her company, Amiya's Mobile Dance Company, who may not be able to afford regular dance studio lessons. What's more impressive...she's not even a teenager yet.
"We Are the World" cover for Haiti and Chile by Cody Simpson.
Erica Swallow: Get a little inspiration from this young singer/songwriter and Bieber lookalike, and then get out there and do something good.
STILLERSTRONG
Zachary Sniderman: Stay strong.
Moving Windmills: The William Kamkwamba story
Vadim Lavrusik: The story of William Kamkwamba, "The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind," is so inspirational. He learned how to build a windmill from scraps in a junkyard for his village in Malawi.
Drunk Monkeys
Lauren Indvik: These monkeys are saving tourists from potential drunken embarrassment. Social good at its finest.
Know A Do Gooder?
Brenna Ehrlich: Strangely enough, someone tweeted this to me today. It's from my 'hood! Vote!
Pay It Forward
Meghan Peters: "Power of Three" from Pay It Forward.
