Helping Others

By helping others, you help yourself.

Here is a good article about a study saying that volunteeing improves your health.

"Using the latest technology, Avaaz.org empowers ordinary people from every corner of the globe to directly contact key global decision-makers, corporations and the media. By signing up to receive updates from Avaaz.org, members receive emails and text messages alerting them to new campaigns and opportunities to make a real difference on pressing global issues."

For example, in the summer of 2006, by collecting hundreds of thousands of signatures in a matter of days, Avaaz.org helped to shorten the war between Israel and Lebanon.
