Can the children identify any early influences in the philanthropists lives. What or who is making an influence on them? Slide 26. What might be stopping them? Lack of knowledge, understanding, imagination, interest. Selfishness or self-interest The problem is too large etc. Follow Up Activity: Divide the children into 5 groups. Ask each group to research one of the philanthropists in the PowerPoint, giving each the information on the relevant slide as a starting point. Ask them to prepare a presentation to the class, or for an assembly.
