About this product

Product Information

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. Among them: Dr. Paul Farmer, who grew up living in the family bus in a trailer park, vowed to devote his life to giving high-quality medical care to the poor and has built innovative public health-care clinics first in Haiti and then in Rwanda; a New York couple, in Africa for a wedding, who visited several schools in Zimbabwe and were appalled by the absence of textbooks and school supplies. They founded their own organization to gather and ship materials to thirty-five schools. After three years, the percentage of seventh-graders who pass reading tests increased from 5 percent to 60 percent;' Oseola McCarty, who after seventy-five years of eking out a living by washing and ironing, gave $150,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi to endow a scholarship fund for African-American students; Andre Agassi, who has created a college preparatory academy in the Las Vegas neighborhood with the city's highest percentage of at-risk kids. "Tennis was a stepping-stone for me," says Agassi. "Changing a child's life is what I always wanted to do"; Heifer International, which gave twelve goats to a Ugandan village. Within a year, Beatrice Biira's mother had earned enough money selling goat's milk to pay Beatrice's school fees and eventually to send all her children to school--and, as required, to pass on a baby goat to another family, thus multiplying the impact of the gift. 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. "We all have the capacity to do great things," President Clinton says. "My hope is that the people and stories in this book will lift spirits, touch hearts, and demonstrate that citizen activism and service can be a powerful agent of change in the world."

My hope is that the people and the stories in this book will lift spirits, touch hearts, and demonstrate that citizen activism and services can be a powerful agent of change in the world.” “The health of a democratic society maybe measured by the quality of the functions performed by private citizens.” Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America Bill Clinton has written an extraordinary book, Giving. This inspiring call to action is a look at how each of us can take positive steps to change the world. The book discusses concrete examples of extraordinary and innovative efforts are currently being made by companies, organizations and most importantly ordinary people to solve problems and save lives. Mr. Clinton categorizes for us the various methods that we can help based on his travels and experience: • Giving Money • Giving Time • Giving Things • Giving Skills • Gift of Reconciliation and New Beginnings • Gifts that Keep Giving • Model Gifts • Giving to Good Ideas • Organizing Markets for the Public Good • Nonprofit Markets • The Government This book is very well researched and it’s listing of resources in the back of the book is very impressive. What I liked the best about Mr. Clinton’s book was the examples he gave of common, ordinary people who have made miraculous differences in other peoples’ lives. Here are a few examples: Dr Paul Farmer: Dr Farmer grew up living in the family bus in a trailer park. He vowed to devote his life to giving high-quality medical care to the poor. This led him in his adult life to build innovative public health-care clinics in Haiti and Rwanda; A New York couple in Africa for a wedding, visited several schools and were appalled by the absence of textbooks and supplies. They founded their own organization to gather and ship materials to 35 schools. After 3 years, the percentage of 7th graders who passed reading tests increased from 5% to 60%; Oseola McCarty, a woman who worked as a washer woman for 75 years, gave $150,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi to endow a scholarship fund for African-American students; Heifer International, which gave 12 goats to a Ugandan village, helped to provide poor people enough money selling goat’s milk that it paid for school fees and eventually sent all her children to school. The children in turn pass a baby goat along to other families, extending the impact of the gift. I like this book not only for the impact that great men like Bill Gates have provided from his foundation, but the common ordinary person who by taking small helping steps, effected prolific changes. Written in an upbeat, contemporary conversational style, what could have been a stuffy and dusty old book is fresh and new. This is a great book and it demonstrates what de Tocqueville first observed about Americans in the 1860’s. Our society is built on the cooperative efforts of others.

Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World by Bill Clinton A call to action! To make this a better world. Clinton has always believed in the power of private charities, and this book is a collection of examples of self-starters and the charities they've created. An inspiring look at how each of us can change the world. He shares his own experiences and those of others, like innovative efforts now being made by organizations and individuals to solve problems and save lives both “down the street and around the world.” Saying the market for charitable giving is "under-organized" and "under-capitalized," Clinton also urges us, the reader, “regardless of income, available time, age, and skills,” to do what we can to help.

The book introduces us to both well-known and unknown givers. Nongovernmental, nonprofit activity. These stories show that gifts of time, skills, and ideas are as important and effective as contributions of money. Bill Clinton has this way of presenting his ideas for reforms as simple, elegant solutions. A portion of the book's profits go to charities. Giving is good! William Jefferson Clinton is a genius. willtrib - EasyCityBooks NOLA

This is an outstanding guide and resource to giving one's time, money or skills. Whether or not you like Mr. Clinton as a person or a President is immaterial as far as this book is concerned.

For just a little of yourself or your checkbook, you could make an enormous difference in someone's life. This book will give you many ideas on how to do so.This is an outstanding guide and resource to giving one's time, money or skills.
