The Social Good Summit was this past week; such a great conference bringing together change agents and leaders all over the globe to share new initiatives and ideas.  Here is a compilation of highlights from mashable, bloggers, YouTube and Pinterest we found over the internet. 

Philanthropy is about using the resources you have at your fingertips to improve the world.

The Internet is allowing for us to really experience people in some of the most distant places in the world — as other people just like us. So get to know people, seek out bloggers from a country you’re kind of curious about. It’s about building empathy and breaking through to the point of recognizing people as people.
