World Humanitarian Day 2012

The World Humanitarian Day site provides examples of how we can do something good for someone else. These examples include: helping someone with their groceries, making a homeless person a sandwich, mowing your neighbors yard, or even cooking a new mother a meal. So much of our day-to-day happenings occur in our self-contained bubbles. We’re either hustling to work or picking up the kids from camp or using tunnel vision while grocery shopping or yelling at the jerk in front of us in traffic. As a community of human beings we don’t take enough time to simply find the good in others by doing something good for them. Today is about doing good just because we should.

This may not sound like a big deal but those enlightened to the power of social media cause campaigns can tell you, this is huge. Social media cause campaign expert, Clarence Wardell III, PhD. shares, "We're seeing the power of large collections of individuals in online environments to make a significant impact on policy and humanitarian related causes. Going forward, particularly through organizations like Causes, Change.org, and HopeMob"
