Have you ever taken a deep breath after you read the news about the inhumane and atrocious conditions in which children in poor countries live?

Have you ever wished with all your heart to be able to satiate other people’s hunger and mend their emotional and physical scars?

Have you ever wanted to change the world but have little time and money to do so?

If your answer to at least one of these questions is yes, I’ve got something for you.

You can make an impact through these three free charity apps. Here is the list:

1. Share The Meal

“With a tap on your smartphone, you can “share the meal” with a child in need. It costs only US $ 0.50 to feed one child for a day.”

Share The Meal is the world’s first mobile application developed to fight against global hunger. This initiative was created by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and has been impacting hundreds of lives.

If you desire to share a meal right now, you can choose between feeding a child for one day ($0.50), for one week ($3.50), for one month ($15.00), for three months ($45.00), or for a year ($182.50). On the other hand, if you are devoted to ending hunger and have the financial resources to take aid further, then you can click on the “Give Monthly” button.

In addition, you are able to choose between helping Rohingya children, alleviating Syrian children refugees’ pain or supporting children who are fighting famine in Nigeria.

Log in. Tap. Done.

It’s that easy.

2. Charity Miles

“Move with purpose. Earn money for charity.”

What if I told you that every single time that you walk to your 9 a.m. class, grab a coffee with a friend, go to the gym or walk your neighbor’s cute dog, you can actually save a life?

In another time in history, people would think I’d gone crazy.

Truth is, we live in the 21st century, and this, my friend, is entirely possible.

How?

Charity Miles is a socially-driven, for-profit company that created an app that enables users to earn money for a cause when they move.

Turn your phone on. Log in. Choose from 1 of their 37 charity partners like Operation Smile, Save the Children, Pencils of Promise or The American Diabetes Association and get moving.

3. Donate a Photo


You take a photo, we make it look good.

Wait… WHAT?

Yup, you read that right. Something as simple as taking a picture can help individuals all around the globe.

This application is strikingly simple to use.

First, explore the cause categories. The categories are women’s and children’s health, healthy families, health workforce, environmental health, global disease challenges, essential surgery, education and quality, and emergency relief.

Second, choose a nonprofit.

Then, shoot a picture.

Share it.

For every photo you share through this app, Johnson & Johnson donates $1.00 to a nonprofit of your choice. (You can donate one photo per day.)

If you are the type of person who wants to make a difference,

You are welcome.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
