Unlike at the UN building there was no dissension in the Sheraton and, contrasting with the famously slow-moving United Nations, the CGI emphasized the need to turn good words into deeds.
Among its accomplishments, the CGI says, are commitments to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 60 million tons, treat 34 million people for tropical diseases, give 10 million children better education, and provide safe drinking water to three million people in Asia.
The annual four-day networking, brain-storming and fundraising session also gives Clinton an extraordinarily high-profile platform eight years after leaving the White House.

It truly is amazing what CGI accomplishes and is trying to accomplish. I had the pleasure of attending a panel at the Sheraton this afternoon that he moderated, where he talked about the Northern Ireland peace process and investment potential there. It really is all about turning words into deeds.

ReplyDeleteI agree. Because the media often ignores his Foundation's good work and instead talks about Monica or race-baiting I decided to promote his work on this blog. Thanks for coming
