In this episode we jump around a bit in our timeline in this final episode that looks back at George H. W. Bush’s presidency. We will look at the one request Bush made to his successor of what he hoped would continue after he left office.
Bush wanted the Points of Light initiative to outlive him. It did. President Clinton not only honored that request, he embraced it with the same vigor that Bush had shown. Today, the Points of Light Foundation works with millions of volunteers around the world to assist in promoting volunteerism and tackling countless issues in order to make the world a better place.
We will look at the Foundation as it exists today, learn more about the couple who inspired it, and watch the final event at the Bush White House honoring the individual people who made up those early volunteer efforts.
