Giving - How Each of Us Can Change the World

Informationen zum Autor William Jefferson Clinton, the first Democratic president in six decades to be elected twice, led the US to the longest economic expansion in American history, including the creation of more than 22 million jobs. After leaving the White House, President Clinton established the Clinton Foundation; its flagship pro­grammes include the Clinton Global Initiative, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the Clinton School of Public Service and the Clinton Presidential Center and Library. President Clinton and Sec­retary Hillary Rodham Clinton live in Chappaqua, New York. Klappentext Here, from Bill Clinton, is a call to action. GIVING is an inspiring look at how each of us can change the world. Bill Clinton shares his own experiences and those of other givers. These remarkable stories demonstrate that gifts of time, skills, things, and ideas are as important and effective as contributions of money. He shows us how one of the most important ways of giving can be an effort to change, improve, or protect a government policy. He outlines what we as individuals can do and why our giving is so important. Zusammenfassung Then it urges us to seek out what each of us, 'regardless of income, available time, age, and skills', can do to help, to give people a chance to live out their dreams. Bill Clinton shares his own experiences and those of other givers, representing a global flood tide of nongovernmental, nonprofit activity.
