A taste of our philosophy

Good afternoon everyone!!

We’ve been asked several times why we don’t use the images that they usually use in this kind of initiative to get funds for fighting famine. We’d like to explain you the reason.

We understand why those other initiatives use this kind of pictures, but we have a different thinking: we believe that using images of suffering or happiness of the reality from which people suffer in the Horn of Africa can make people make decisions about whether helping or not basing those decisions on other reasons different from those that we promote.

We’d like people to donate 2 euro because we think that everyone using social networks has the opportunity to donate at least once in their life, we want them to feel excited about doing something good, we want that they share this feeling with everybody else, we want them to feel part of this big group that is growing more and more, that they understand that we are doing this for no money.

What we intend is that people reflect on the fact that there are many everyday things which cost more than two euro, for example, the season ticket for the metro, a beer or a pack of cigarettes. Just with this little money we can help to help. We should bear in mind that nothing in our society can be compared to the suffering of African families.

We’re not asking you to stop having a beer; we want you to have that beer, but we want you to think about this initiative, think that you have contributed to help, and share this dream with everyone else. With just 2 euro we can achieve something great: to save lives, change the world and do something that nobody has done before. I couldn’t get this idea out of my mind, and still cannot. We want to share that dream with you, and we want to achieve this dream with you too. I want to share this feeling with all of you, because I think helping is worthy.

We’re just people helping other people, but if we work together, we can achieve great things.

The image above is the first one we posted on our blog. Maybe you have one mouse in your hand right now. We’ll post images of our world, not of their world. We ask you to send us photos, according to this way of thinking, and we’ll post them regularly. Please send them to contact(at) 90mn90d.com.

For further information about what is going on in Africa, we will keep you posted if you’re interested in the section “Info of Africa”.
