Interesting article:
I like how much money he and Barbara have raised for Cancer Center in TX. And how he honored Volunteers everyday during his Presidency and started something in this country because of it. (Points of Light) obama makes it mandatory I did not know he founded the POINTS of LIGHT. And HONORED 1,020 people during his 4 years. Or how this started a Movement in this country and how volunteering in your own communities is something the BIG GOV cannot do. The 20 years since he started his call to action the number of Americans that have stepped forward to volunteer has jumped and Teenagers have joined the volunteer group in record numbers and this is a good thing for they are our tomorrow.
A good read.

Not only have he and Barbara Bush raised over $50 million for the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and chaired hundreds of family literacy events nationwide.founding of the Points of Light movement (named for his 1988 description of the country as a network of volunteer organizations "spread like stars, like a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky"). He also called Points of Light "the soul of America" and the promise of its future.
Bush was the only one to recognize, on a daily basis, ordinary American citizens who were doing extraordinary things. He named a different citizen a "daily Point of Light" each day. It began a movement that is changing the course of our nation.
Bush was ahead of his time in taking this distinctly American idea of voluntary service and seeing that, over time, it would become indispensable to our future. Now it is part of the most promising strategies we have for ending poverty, hunger, drug abuse, and illiteracy.
