The Good Samaritan
There is a parable told by Jesus Christ about a man beaten up by robbers, robbed and left half dead, who was tended to by a Samaritan and restored back to health. This is popularly referred to as the parable of the Good Samaritan. In today’s day and age unfortunately, its more of a parable and less of a reality. There is always someone at some stage, some juncture in life who is in need of help, be it financial, in kind or any other form of support. The Internet has helped alleviate it in some manner, but with its reach and infinite possibilities its high time somebody came up with a venture.
This Internet venture could provide a platform to connect the needy with the giver. For instance, if somebody needed blood or needed urgent financial assistance for a surgery, this could be flashed on the website and instantly notify people about it. With the help of RSS feeds and widgets, affiliate websites and other subscribers could flash it somewhere in their website and attract more donors. I see this as a great possibility, as a matter of fact I have more ideas in store.
In this day and age of digital divide, one needs a good Samaritan to bridge the gap.
