Let's Raise The Bar On Economic Development, Job Creation & Education For The International Urban World & It's At Risk Youth
I would like to take a moment to commend Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Cosby, former President Bill Clinton and countless other conscious celebrities and philanthropic icons for their charitable work, unselfish commitment and their breathtaking generosity over the years. These are some of the great "Light Bearers" and our true "Urban Guardians" of the world as far as I'm concerned.
They have set incredible standards and have inspired the likes of Madonna, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Will & Jada Smith, Tyra Banks, Magic Johnson, LeBron James, Jay-Z, Russell Simmons, P-Diddy and Usher among several other Celebrity Philanthropists. These are just a few of the world's true "Champions of Philanthropy" and perhaps some of the most visible. They also represent the Old and New School wave of increase in extreme giving and philanthropy that has swept the planet over the last decade in particular. The world really needs you right now so keep up the good work!
Anyone who has been paying close attention to the dramatic increase in charitable giving over the last year in particular would have to be amazed at the massive volume of dollar amounts that these incredible philanthropist have been able to commit to various global charities and foundations lately. It staggers the imagination.
Oprah Winfrey financed and just recently opened her $40,000,000 (40 million dollar) school in Africa back in December of 2006 with a beautiful gesture of love and compassion for the disadvantaged young girls of the Motherland. The maverick Sports & Entertainment industry legend Ted Turner pledged another $1 billion dollars to the United Nations Foundation, on top of his previous $1 billion he donated to the UN back in the late 90's. Former President Bill Clinton raised over $7.2 billion dollars for charity over a 3-day period during his annual Clinton Global Initiative.
If that's not enough, the number 1 and number 2 richest men in the world actually teamed up on a massive groundbreaking partnership when Warren Buffet donated over $30 billion dollars to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation last year to be managed and appropriated by Bill & Melinda through their already epic multi billion dollar foundation. Bill & Melinda Gates are right now literally giving away hundreds of millions of dollars every other week!
These are absolutely staggering numbers by anybodies standards. All such illuminated souls must be commended for their generosity, social awareness and great sense of corporate responsibility. Personally, I can't say enough about people who operate at this level of consciousness and economic proficiency. My only desire as it pertains to such an elite anointed philanthropic circle, as the above referenced, is that I may one day be able to help them impact the World at some level of benefit to mankind as they all have and continue to do.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, I hope any of you who may be made aware of my humble works and my vision to benefit "Urban Youth at Risk" may consider taking a close look at my "Urban Guardians for at Risk Youth" movement and my "Women's World Peace Charities - WWPC" as possible considerations for your support.
Feel free to make a secure online donation to WWPC c/o the National Heritage Foundation right HERE if you like. Also, please forgive me for my shameless plug but you never know who just might read this article one day.
Although not yet Global machines, I do plan to establish "Urban Guardian Partnerships" and "Women's World Peace Chapters" around the world as soon as we perfect the models here in the US over the next few years. It's going to take some hard work, time and money but their both well worth the effort.
Since the concept of an "Urban Community" is not just unique to America alone, the need to favorably impact all Urban markets is a great Global responsibility for all of those who are in power to improve these difficult conditions. The reality of the "Urban Ghetto Factor" and the symptoms of all disadvantaged, impoverished Urban environments affect all cultures the world over.
When you couple these factors with certain areas having to contend with being in the midst of various war-torn regions and infested havens for terrorists, we are talking about situations that are totally unacceptable for children in particular. We have no choice but to increase efforts to do all we can to rescue these innocent victims of man's lower dark nature the world over.
Back here in America, the US Ghettos with their drug dealers, gang bangers, drive-by shootings, academic dilemmas, health care issues and overall crime, not only costs us billions of tax payers dollars, but we have allowed our younger generation to suffer for lack of our total support.
I just think it's time to systematically impact the world with a brand new army of "Peace, Love & Unity" under the banners of the "Urban Guardians for at Risk Youth" movement along with the "Women's World Peace Charities" and simply raise the economic bar to help support those programs that are in the trenches making a difference while we still can. If we only had access to just 1% of the current 500 billion dollar military budget that's been spent on an ill-advised war in the Middle East, imagine what type of impact we could make on improving the global condition.
That’s why I’m spearheading a new initiative to raise one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) to officially join the "Army of Reason" and help make dynamic changes for the better. Together we can raise the bar along with my dedicated colleagues, friends and associates nationwide to Co-create a brand new chapter in the humanities on behalf of all "Youth at Risk" the world over. It's time for some all new movements that can truly compliment all the rest. What do you think?
Please visit our websites at: www.UrbanGuardians.org and www.WomensWorldPeace.com for further details with regard to these brand new charitable movements. Also, feel free to e-mail me at donthornton@sbcglobal.net to discuss our hundred million dollar initiative and our long-term plans to impact the philanthropic and charitable markets in the US and abroad.
Please make any comments below and I will respond as soon as possible to all serious inquiries.
Looking forward to Co-creating history!
Take Care & God Bless!
"Don"
