I just discovered this website a few days ago. It’s a website after my own heart! www.idealist.org.
From their vision and mission:
We would like to live in a world where:
All people can lead free and dignified lives.
Every person who wants to help another has the ability to do so.
No opportunities for action or collaboration are missed or wasted.Our Mission
Action Without Borders connects people, organizations, and resources to help build a world where all people can live free and dignified lives.
AWB is independent of any government, political ideology, or religious creed. Our work is guided by the common desire of our members and supporters to find practical solutions to social and environmental problems, in a spirit of generosity and mutual respect.
I just joined and am finding my way through their site, but I wanted to post about it now. The reason I’m so excited about this is because this is idealism in action. The suggestions they provide, the practical steps to make things happen is really inspirational.
It makes the ideal possible.
