Video Goodness: (Moving) Pictures Are Worth A Thousand Words

It's Thursday, and the weekend is almost here (finally!). So instead of hitting you with a length and dense post on service and what it means, how about we make the same point while you kick back and watch some great video from our partners and friends.

First up, is the latest vid from the always inspiring folks at Playing For Change.

And we've also got a great video from our friends over at MyImpact, showcasing their work on last Saturday's Make A Difference Day.

Last Saturday was also a huge day for climate action, as 350.org mobilized citizens around the globe to take a stand against global warming. Here's 350.org's compilation video:

There was another big day earlier this month (is October packed with service or what?), when our friends at Jumpstart staged their annual "Read For The Record" day (where they try to get volunteers to read to a record number of kids around the globe). Here's a clip from NBC's Today show about the effort.

Finally, MLK Day 2010 is coming up in a few months, so it's time to start thinking about where and how you would like to serve. To inspire you, here is a spanking new round-up of what happened on MLK Day last January:

That's all. Hope you enjoyed it. Please return to your regularly scheduled programming (aka "work").
