Why not give away what you don’t need? (Part One)

Here’s an interesting profile, that ran in the Globe and Mail, about Jeffrey Skoll, the only Canadian among 81 billionaires to sign the Giving Pledge, an initiative started a couple years ago wen Bill Gates and Warran Buffet started asking the richest people in the world to stop hoarding their wealth and give it to a good cause. When he is done, Mr. Skoll, the past president of eBay, will have given away 95 per cent of his wealth. He is one of just 20 people in the world to donate $1-billion to charity. Those are numbers nearly impossible for most of us to imagine. But as the gospel tell us, when we give all that we are able – in time, talent and treasure – every penny is counted.
