    For our latest mission, a woman in a marching band uniform stands on the sidewalk with a sign that reads "Parade Leader Wanted." When a stranger agrees to help out, a huge parade led by a marching band emerges from around the corner and follows him wherever he goes. The band plays "Jingle Bells" and is followed by a cast of characters that includes two yetis, Frosty the Snowman, and two guys holding giant flags that read "Random Parade."
    This mission was made possible by Caring Crowd, a crowd-funding platform where people come together to fund global health projects.
