Maya Angelou said, “I have found that giving liberates the soul of the giver.” And we agree! Giving can mean selecting a gift as an expression of your personal consciousness or philosophy. Because our show is a Special Project of Pathways to Peace, we wanted everyone to know that the Directors’ Council just acknowledged Justin Bieber as an outstanding Peacebuilder for 2010 – for his music and for all he gives back to his worldwide community.
Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our hearts and awareness to the needs of others. In this program, you’ll hear about:
- environmentally responsible gifts and where to get them
- charitable giving to help those in need
- web sites you need to know about
- how you can find fair trade products
- what it means to vote with your gift dollars all year
- Pencils of Promise, Justin’s favorite charity
