Firstly, I'd pity my husband and daughter. Two wives sounds like a lot of work, and two mums - well, an adventuring toddler wouldn't be able to get away with anything.
Except that maybe if there was another me, I'd do something else entirely.
I might be far away, living a life for others, doing great things. I might be able to sacrifice some personal wishes for the sake of others.
ActionAid have recently launched their latest campaign, The Other You, which caters to all those who believe that there’s another you who, given the time, would do more to fight injustice.
The Other You connects people who want to fight injustice with amazing activists overseas who are doing just that. Through the campaign, you can help ActionAid activists on the ground in Australia, Cambodia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Uganda and Bangladesh fight poverty and prejudice, and help protect people’s basic rights. Through a small monthly donation the campaign gives us the chance to do more of the great work they’re already doing – the work that, given the time and opportunity, you would like to do.
This video explains it all:
At the heart of their work is the belief that every person has a right to food, shelter, work, education, health care and democratic governance. Help them by heading to The Other You's website and donating.
What would you do if there was another you?

Wow! SO cool Megan - thanks for sharing. I'd love two of me and yep, that other me would be off reading, travelling and doing all manner of other things for me and me alone! :)
What a great campaign - I hope it goes well. The message behind "the other you" is really quite powerful - all the best.
Sounds like a wonderful idea!
