Clinton Honors World Forum Foundation
I’m learning that recognizing and leaning into the discomfort of vulnerability teaches us how to live with joy, gratitude, and grace.

The World Forum Foundation (WFF) has been invited to be a member of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). In order to participate, the WFF has committed to reconnecting 2 million children around the world with nature in the next four years.

Roger Neugebauer (that's me) was invited to attend the 5th Clinton Global Initiative Conference in New York in September with his $20,000 registration fee covered by CGI. Attending this event were...
- Over 60 heads of state including President Barack Obama;
- CEOs of Fortune 500 companies such as Exxon, Cisco, Wal-Mart, Coca Cola, and Intel;
- Nobel Prize winners such as Professor Mohammed Yunas (founder of micro-financing) and Wangari Maathai (founder of Kenya Green Belt Movement);
- Presidents of charitable organizations such as Rockefeller Foundation, Carnegie Foundation, UNICEF, Care, Plan International, and Mercy Corps;
- Heads of hundreds of international NGOs; and
- Even a few celebrities such as Juanes, Matt Damon, Ben Stiller, Demi Moore, and Paul Pierce.
Throughout the week I heard hundreds of amazing stories of people around the world demonstrating great courage and creativity in pursuing charitable causes. I was also able to initiate over 40 partnerships with NGOs and corporations for WFF projects on Global Leaders, nature, immigration, orphans, peace, and play. As these partnerships are actualized, we will announce them via our
Twitter service. If you would like to be informed of these developments, as well as to be among the first to learn the site of the 2011 World Forum when it is unveiled,
follow us on Twitter.
