   For our elder who were most forgotten by so many. So, if I were given a chance to build one, I'll make a home for them to stay, and even for the last phase of their lives they felt loved and important.

      If you've been to Golden Acres, you'll definitely understand that we need more help when it comes to the elderly.  I encourage you to visit the place and spend some time there.  You don't need to give cash.  You can do a lot by sharing your time.

   If I had the money then I would set one up to help people get out of poverty and lead a good life.

      We can do so much even if we don't have the cash.  Just the awareness of how others live is a good start.  Make people learn about others and get them involved.  YOU might just get someone with the cash to help you out.

   Interesting question, thank you.
   
   I would create two if I could.
   
   A serious one - for children who are victims of war regardless.
   
   A light hearted one - for victims of online plagiarism!

      Both are important.  Every sector of our society needs some sort of help.

   I would make one for children to help them regardless of where they are from or what conditions they live in to have better lives and better futures, including an educational system to promote creativity, ingenuity and create entrepreneurs who will in turn help others.

      Lone77star is doing something like that.  Maybe you can help out.  Educating the young ones is a huge step towards a better future.

   I would love to have a foundation that helps families with sick kids get and pay for the treatment they need.

      My daughter recently got sick and we had a lot of trouble with our insurance.  We're fortunate that we have one though.  Many don't even have enough money to buy the meds they need.

   I rather make a foundation for the street children and for all the homeless. I want every one in the world live fairly and happily.

      Shelter is a basic need.  But many don't even have a roof over their heads.  A fair and happy world is what we all want.  I'm with you on this.

   I am creating one.
   
   It's called the Infinity Dynamics Foundation -- dedicated to education in the world. http://infinitydynamics.org.
   
   Education in America is falling apart. Scores are sinking to all-time lows. America ranks behind so many other nations in mathematics and physics.
   
   I think so much can be done to help our kids get the best possible education -- an education that will empower them to change worlds, instead of punch keys on a cash register (unless they want to do that).
   
   Jaime Escalante is one of my heroes. He is an educator who contributed the extraordinary to his students. They even made a movie about it. We need more like him. It is my intent to help create an army of such educators. We can take the brightest and "allow" them to learn calculus by the age of 8. We can teach them responsibility, interpersonal communication and negotiation by 10. And they can have PhD equivalent education by 16. Not everyone is going to be an Einstein. Heck, they might be a Picasso.

      That's really great.  I know what you mean about young kids excellening in academics.  I used to work at Kumon Philippines - it's a supplementary education program.  I see grade 4 and 5 students doing high school math.

      Sounds good, checking your site.
      It's unfortunate but education seems to be lower quality everywhere, textbooks are rewritten, tests are "standardized" (making them easy for anyone to pass), schools hold back advanced students, drop competition...

   If I was blessed with such an opportunity I would help the people who have nobody to look after them. This is usually seen with old people. As people get older, they are given less importance by their family. They are considered to be useless. It's not true in all the case but still I have heard a lot of such cases. I truly wish to help such people.
