Secret Millionaire

I've been watching this great programme on Channel 4 the last few weeks called 'Secret Millionaire'- the premise is that each week a millionaire goes to do voluntary work in some deprived area of Britain but is undercover. At the end of the 10 days the millionaire gives away money to the projects they have worked with. In a way, it's a gimmick, the amount of people they reach is small and the millionaires seem to get a lot of thanks for the 10,000s of pounds they give, even though it's a drop in the ocean of their fortunes. But I think it's got a really deep message. It highlights the incredible work so many voluntary organisations do and the secret suffering of many people living next door to us. Our neighbours. It gives the millionaires to be treated as 'normal', not seen for their money but for who they are. In each case, they have been transformed by the experience and not only give their money away but go away with plans to use their businesses for the good of society. Wallets and hearts with changed priorities.
