I'd say "So what?" 25,000 kids die each and every day on this planet, and your "plan" won't save even one of them. Why? Because raising money is the smallest and easiest step in the entire process of saving those kids. Converting that cash into food, medicine, housing, and making sure it's all spent on those items, and then delivering the goods to their destinations (once you have actually determined the destinations!). And assuming all these things happened, then what? Your "plan" won't rid the world of disease, droughts, floods, earthquakes, corrupt dictatorships, ethnic/religious/tribal conflicts, unwanted/unneeded pregnancies, and on and on. Your plan won't prevent the Nile river from becoming unusable for farming and drinking purposes within 20 years, a river that in Egypt alone, 78M people depend on for sustenance. You had a nice dream, now forget it and stop wasting our time with your spam.
