August 3, 2007. Sunday School Teachers and Philanthropy. 8212; davebritt @ 6:50 pm. Remember Mark Twain’s gem about Tom Sawyer and the Sunday School superintendent? Tom traded fishhooks and licorice for a fistful of blue, yellow, and red tickets, which together alleged Tom’s mastery of two thousand Bible verses. The superintendent, startled but on the spot in front of visiting celebrity, awarded Tom a new Bible and no small glory in recognition of his achievement. Research also shows that a good Sunday S...

Hello world! | Britt's Blog
https://davebritt.wordpress.com/2007/03/22/hello-world
March 22, 2007. 8212; davebritt @ 3:08 am. Some younger friends have inspired me by starting an intelligent dialogue on creating a better world in central Louisiana. Two of them are actually in Tibet at the moment, but that just goes to show that Central Louisiana is important all over the world.

May 10, 2007. Compassion by the Numbers. 8212; davebritt @ 1:44 pm. Once again, Nicholas Kristof has found hard numbers to back up what old hands sort of knew: people don’t get motivated to help other people by statistics. In rigorous research, people were much more likely to give money to a single person preferably a child than to wrestle with the implications of systemic poverty. Put that way, it’s not surprising. Someone, of course, including people like Kristof, has to put the numbers together. S...

March 27, 2007. 8212; davebritt @ 1:26 pm. Nonprofits today are undergoing a sea change. People are figuring out new ways of doing things to make real differences, rather than simply supporting organizations. Today’s column by Nicholas Kristof in the. Here’s Kristof’s column I couldn’t figure out which parts to leave out:. You, Too, Can Be a Banker to the Poor. By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF. So on my arrival here in Afghanistan, I visited my new business partners to see how they were doing. On a muddy street in...
