Here, from Bill Clinton, is a call to action. Giving is an
inspiring look at how each of us can change the world. First, it
reveals the extraordinary and innovative efforts now being made by
companies and organizations-and by individuals-to solve problems
and save lives both 'down the street and around the world'. 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. These remarkable
stories demonstrate that gifts of time, skills, things, and ideas
are as important and effective as contributions of money. From Bill
and Melinda Gates to a six-year-old California girl named McKenzie
Steiner, who organized and supervised drives to clean up the beach
in her community, Clinton introduces us to both well-known and
unknown heroes of giving. Clinton writes about men and women who
traded in their corporate careers, and the fulfillment they now
experience through giving. He writes about energy-efficient
practices, about progressive companies going green, about promoting
fair wages and decent working conditions around the world. 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, the steps we can take, how much we should
consider giving, and why our giving is so important. Bill Clinton's
own actions in his post-presidential years have had an enormous
impact on the lives of millions. Through his foundation and his
work in the aftermath of the Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina,
he has become an international spokesperson and model for the power
of giving.
