How to Change the World interview

Ten (or so) Questions with Richard Stearns, President of World Vision, from Guy Kawasaki

A few quotes stand out:
It has turned out to be the greatest privilege of my life to serve the poorest of the poor in Christ's name.
Today, we live in a world that tolerates extreme poverty much like racism was tolerated fifty-plus years ago. We can all become people determined to do something to change the world.

... less than two percent of private charitable giving goes to international causes.

If it could be said of us that we gave the poor a voice, that we provoked the rich and the powerful to action and that we gave hope to people trapped in hopelessness, I would be deeply gratified.
