What a powerful article! Thank you for sharing it here. I especially appreciated WuDunn's comments about how closely connected we really are to people living on the other side of the world. This is something I have tried to embrace and promote through the nonprofit I founded, UniversalGiving (www.universalgiving.org), which makes it easy for people to find quality ways to give and volunteer internationally. As the world grows increasingly connected, it's so important to have international awareness in philanthropy. Thank you for highlighting this inspiring article.

All my best,
