Why Read It? Because working together for the common good is a great way to bring people together.

• Philanthropy, or charitable work, isn't meant to serve the person performing the act, but to empower the underprivlidged.
• At some point in our lives, we have all been in a tough spot and giving back is a means to recognize those hardships by helping others through it.
• Participating in service projects is a great way to bring a team together to show the importance of team work.

"Wisely and effectively executed, charity work and the spirit of philanthropy plants seeds in society and in the hearts and minds of each individual recipient for a brighter tomorrow."
