Via Kottke, This is pretty cool. Apparently a Harvard professor was disappointed to learn a water buffalo a friend “purchased” for a family of Asia in her father’s name would actually be going into the charity’s general fund. This American living in China read the post and actually helped the Harvard professor and a few others buy an actual water buffalo for $460 and give it to a poor family in China.
He also made an Internet video about it, which you can watch here. It is eight minutes and worth it.
