La gitanilla is the first novella contained in Miguel de Cervantes' collection of short stories, the Novelas ejemplares. La gitanilla is the story of a 15 year old gypsy girl named Preciosa, who is said to be talented, extremely beautiful, and wise beyond her years. In Spanish. Points for being creative about what to do and how to do it. And the stats in the last chapter were astounding! I wasn't a huge fan of the main character though. Wait, you say. This is a nonfiction book about an action. How can it have a main character? Clinton uses this book to point out his magnanimity, his charity, and his connections. These people are, for the most part, only in the book because they've partnered with the Clinton Foundation, traveled with Hillary, captured the attention of his daughter, or visited the White House. I was starting to tire of the omnipresence of the author, when he asked the relevant question: What if you don't have a friend who's a famous Alabama lawyer or President?

A look at how individual endeavors can save lives and solve problems, offering compelling examples of both citizen and corporate activism at work in the world today. "Almost everyone--regardless of income, available time, age, and skills--can do something useful for others and, in the process, strengthen the fabric of our shared humanity." Inspiring stories of people and organizations--some famous, as well as many private citizens whom readers will be hearing about for the first time--show that the act of giving takes many forms; that offerings of time, skills, objects, and ideas can be just as important as contributions of money; and that the lives of those who give are changed as well.--From publisher description.
