Corporate Volunteerism

[Artur Silva]

Thanks for calling my attention to your previous message, Chris. I saw the wiki now and, yes, there is some impressing material there.

I think my reaction is related with the word "givers" and with a cultural difference  - in Latin Europe, a "giver" is normally someone doing "charity" - someone rich that alleviates his/her conscience, more then the situation of the poor. Indeed I think "charity" was designed in Middle Age to convince the poors that they should not revolt, because rich people were "helpers". Maybe this is different in the anglo-saxonic world...

Regards

Artur

Artur...you should have a good read through the "giving conference"
proceedings. Having done that, you may still dislike "giving
conferences" but I'm willing to bet you'll be impressed by what
happened in Chicago last July.
