It’s Thursday, and time for our Global Activism series. Each Thursday we hear about an individual who’s decided to work to make the world a better place. Marc Gold is the founder of 100 Friends Project. Every year Marc collects donations from about 100 people and personally distributes the money to people he thinks need it the most. Marc has been on our program before. He’s here today to give us an update on several new projects that he’s involved with.
