Clinton Global initiative - What’s Your Commitment?
In case you didn’t already know it, saving the world is sexy. Just ask Angelina Jolie. But just because you aren’t exactly ready to adopt children from foreign countries doesn’t mean you can’t still help. And that’s exactly what President Clinton wants to help you do with his new project called My Commitment. The main objective of the My Commitment project is to provide the resources needed to anyone to make a change in the their communities or in the world. The site goes hand in hand with a book written by Clinton called “Giving”, which is basically a collection of stories of how other people made a difference. These examples are one way that the website tries to inspire people to give back. But the site also has a database of volunteer opportunities, charity badges and lists of organizations and groups to make your charitable ventures just a little bit easier.
Probably the most inspiring thing on the website is the section where you can pledge exactly what you plan to or are doing to make a change. You can submit all the details of your commitment, as well as pictures and information about you, because no good deed should go without recognition. And the site also lets you search the database of commitments, so you can see what people in your community and other parts of the United States are doing to help.
So now, I have to ask, what’s your commitment? If you’re not motivated yet, head on over to www2.MyCommitment.org. Even if you simply plan to donate clothing or spend time with the elderly, it makes a difference. And chicks dig it too.
