“While the challenges our world faces today are steep, CGI has always been about what we can do, not what we can’t do. And by bringing diverse partners together to take action and achieve real results, we can create a culture.

It was a great pleasure to see President Clinton Back with his Clinton Global Initiative, after six years, it was a great two-day conference, with thousands of people attending all over the world, with one goal in mind how can they serve humanity, there is no better way, then the way president Clinton does it.
