Let’s say you are a Pratham donor and you have $25.00. You want to donate to Pratham but there is this $25.00 Remote Control Lamborghini Reventon that you want. You don’t know what to do: If you donate, underprivileged children will be educated but you will be bored. But if you buy the RC (Remote Control) Lamborghini Reventon, then you will be entertained but underprivileged children will suffer later in their life. Personally, I think I would donate because it helps underprivileged children whereas a RC Lamborghini Reventon does nothing.
