From Wayne McRann at Developing World Connections:

Sarosha, at Children Care for Children, wrote a very kind review of the Power of Giving.

"I didn't completely read this book, but I read several pages (not in any particular order). Every page, every paragraph I read taught me something. I learned how small gift from heart can make a big difference in lives of others. Giving benefits both sides. I realized that Giving is a very joyful thing. "

Thank you for your recommendation, Sarosha, and for everything you give everyday.

We are delighted with the arrival this morning of the Greek edition of the Power of Giving! We are especially charmed by our Greek names as visible above what we presume to be the title!  To givers out there with friends and familiy in Greece, tell them to keep their eyes out for this:

I have said before, in every crisis there is an opportunity. And this crisis is no exception.   In these times we are all called to be compassionate, and today, for Haiti, I hope you’ll be as generous as possible. 

That is why I sent my donation to Oxfam.  In this extreme time of need for Haiti, I ask that you do the same.  As Haitians suffer tremendously right now, Oxfam is there helping them. 

Please go to their website and give:

A friendly remind to check out the podcast interview I did with Greg Voisen at Inside Personal Growth.

Here is an excerpt of the piece written by Jessica Ravitz:

There are two kinds of people in the world—those who think there are two kinds of people, and those who don't.  But for the sake of the discussion, let's assume there are, in fact, two kinds of people.
Let’s say that the first group are givers. 
It follows then that the other group are takers. 

Join me at the AFP Vancouver's holiday networking event where I will be speaking on the Power of Giving. Hope to see you there!

Please read the invitation below:

As great as it is to have a holiday from our busy schedules, this is a special day to give thanks for our lives and our loved ones.

But what is often forgotten is the second part of the word. Thanksgiving is also a great day to think about “giving”.

It's a day to recognize the wonderful gifts in our lives from friends, family, health or security.  It's a day where we can reflect on what we have, as opposed to what we lack.
