Recently, Facebook release the inspirational story “Beyond the Yellow Boat” as part of their facebook stories campaign. When Jay Jaboneta heard that a group of children in the Philippines have to swim to school, he started a fundraiser on Facebook to buy them a boat with the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation. Unfortunately, in the afternoon at low tide, the boat was unless. He realized then that you can’t give what you think people need, you really understand their needs. With a new point of view, he now seeks solutions that required a more local perspective.
