by | January 23, 2012 | 0 comments

Happy Monday everyone! We hope you had a wonderful (maybe even snowy?) weekend. To get your week started off on the right foot, here’s Repair the World’s weekly roundup of inspiring service-related posts from around the web.

  • The Jew & The Carrot posted an essay about the importance of the upcoming Farm Bill and how (and why!) Jews should get involved with this important piece of legislation.
  • The Huffington Post published a story by famous techie Bill Gates, which features young people’s words and ideas about how to change the world. Have a world-changing idea of your own? Read on to find out how you can share it with Bill!
  • The Huffington Post, on the subject of young people changing the world, also published an article about Sandbox – a network of innovative leaders, all under 30, who are shaping the world for the better.
  • AJWS (one of Repair the World’s grantee-partners) recently released a must-watch video in support of their Where Do You Give? campaign. It might just make you think about tzedakah in a whole new way.
  • GOOD shared the story of the guerrilla gardener, a very cool guy in London who plants gardens in neglected corners across the city.
