Hey everyone,
This is one of many excellent organizations that is focusing on major problems facing the world today. While there are also many other charities that I will talk about in upcoming posts, I want to focus on this one because it trying to improve many of the issues facing the world today (which are also important issues for me). This organization was started by former President Clinton after he left the White House to tackle the many issues facing the world today. He felt limited in government and thought a private organization could achieve the things he wanted to in office. Currently, the William J. Clinton Foundation is focusing on global climate change, HIV/AIDS in the developing world, childhood obesity and economic opportunity in the United States, and economic development in Africa and Latin America. Now, I doubt that there is anyone who can say that any of these issues are not important. However, if you feel that one or some are not important or that one is more important than the rest, you can choose to which area you want to give. Donations start at just $25, but you can make monthly contributions or volunteer if you are that committed. In later blogs, I will outline the areas of giving, but I encourage you to look for yourself at www.clintonfoundation.org. Also, 95.9% of the money donated goes directly to the programs. If you look at these problems and think that your donation won't help much or that the problems are insurmountable, well, $25 dollars can provide clean water for a person for life in underdeveloped countries. Now, imagine if just a dozen people gave $25 a month for 30 years. This group of people could provide a lifetime supply of clean water for 4320 people. That's two of my hometowns. Everyone can make a difference, we just have to believe it and act.
P.S. Ten percent of proceeds from this blog will go to charity (I get paid by the click).
