Really? That’s not out of touch?
1 year out of every five to do “free” work.
It’s good for the soul, etc. But it isn’t realistic.
I understand his message…trust me, I struggle with this every day and I am even actively trying to do something that I believe can change the world (www.kijanitechnology.com). But, c’mon. 1 out of every 5 years?
Besides, why does it have to be pro bono? Design has the capacity to create jobs. It has the ability to develop new industries. It can teach and inspire. This can all be done AND put food on the table.
