Helping Others In The New Year...With A Little Help From The Web

Want to make a difference in the lives of others in the new year but not sure where to start? A new Web site called I Am The Solution aims to make it easier for you to make that important difference. From a recent press release:

The I Am The Solution initiative is challenging people to make at least one selfless resolution-to volunteer, give money, refer people to needed services, or acknowledge a personal need for help. And, because resolutions are easy to make but often difficult to keep, the initiative hinges on an interactive, online community --http://www.iam-thesolution.org/ -- where people can stay accountable by creating profiles, setting deadlines, tracking their progress and engaging with others who are making similar resolutions.

Using the power of the Web to help you help others, this one looks like a promising idea! Check out their Web site for more details.

Happy New Year!
