Who: SAVE ONE PERSON, SAVE THE WORLD (www.saveoneperson.org) is a
new non-denominational consortium under the banner of The
Meaningful Life Center (a non-profit organization) that began
as an awareness campaign following 9/11 to show how each
individual can help another and ultimately, save a life.
What: Save One Person, Save the World is holding its launch event
on September 10 in NYC, with a collective charity gathering
of 20 different charities (sort of like a trade show!), where
the public can go & give blood, get tested for bone marrow
compatibility, volunteer for food drives, & learn the many
ways that they can help save one life.
Why: To empower individuals and channel the emotional damage of
terror around the globe into a revolution of good and
positive action, and to show people that if they help one
person, it will actually save thousands, through a
`chain-letter' affect.
