Be
a Hero for a Better World ... Every Act of Kindness Makes
a Difference!
VOLUNTEERS
Do
One Thing for a better world. Together we make a world
of difference.

Some
people are fortunate enough to earn their livelihoods
in jobs that directly help to create a more peaceful,
just and sustainable world. But much of the efforts
to make life better for our communities and our world
are done by volunteers -- people who work for a better
world without pay. Volunteers ARE creating a better
world, one person and one act of kindness at a time.

...let
us remember the large numbers of citizens who, day in and
day out, through acts of volunteerism large and small, bring
hope to so many of the world's disadvantaged. Let us ensure
that this wonderful resource, available in abundance to
every nation, is recognized and supported as it works towards
a more prosperous and peaceful world.
-- Kofi
Annan
"The
past year's natural disasters have highlighted the invaluable
contributions of volunteers in our communities. They have
volunteered their time, energy and skills to save lives
and to rebuild communities. In this they joined countless
people around the world who volunteer every day in response
to 'silent crises'. These often unsung heroes understand
all too well that poverty, disease and famine are just as
deadly and destructive as earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis."

Annan
"If
we are to make poverty history, we must have the active
participation of States, civil society and the private sector,

will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility.
We must all learn to work not just for our own self, family,

responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best
foundation for world peace, the equitable use of natural
resources, and through concern for future generations, the
proper care of the environment."

Older,
younger, anyone can help. We've learned that our legislators
listen, and people with passionate and thoughtful concerns
make a difference every day. We've had constituents
initiate legislation, lobby for it, organize meetings
and events, and, of course, call, mail, e-mail and visit
legislators to express their views. It's really great
to see how much difference that individuals can make.

"Now
my friends, I am opposed to the system of society in which
we live today, not because I lack the natural equipment
to do for myself but because I am not satisfied to make
myself comfortable knowing that there are thousands of my
fellow men who suffer for the barest necessities of life.
We were taught under the old ethic that man's business on
this earth was to look out for himself. That was the ethic
of the jungle; the ethic of the wild beast. Take care of
yourself, no matter what may become of your fellow man.
Thousands of years ago the question was asked; ''Am I my
brother's keeper?'' That question has never yet been answered
in a way that is satisfactory to civilized society.
Yes,
I am my brother's keeper. I am under a moral obligation
to him that is inspired, not by any maudlin sentimentality
but by the higher duty I owe myself. What would you think
me if I were capable of seating myself at a table and gorging
myself with food and saw about me the children of my fellow
beings starving to death. "

To
laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent
people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation
of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

You
know, there's a lot of talk in this country about
the federal deficit. But I think we should talk more
about our empathy deficit - the ability to put ourselves
in someone else's shoes; to see the world through
the eyes of those who are different from us - the
child who's hungry, the steelworker who's been laid-off,
the family who lost the entire life they built together
when the storm came to town. When you think like this
- when you choose to broaden your ambit of concern
and empathize with the plight of others, whether they
are close friends or distant strangers - it becomes
harder not to act; harder not to help.

well. I'm a good parent.' That's all very well. But you
must do something more. Seek always to do some good, somewhere.
Every person has to seek in his own way to make his own
self more noble and to realize his own true worth. You must
give some time to your fellow man. Even if it's a little
thing, do something for those who have need of a man's help,
something for which you get no pay but the privilege of
doing it. For, remember, you don't live in a world all your
own. Your brothers are here too."

there is the power to do it.

our ability to comprehend."
