Earlier in the year I participated in an online forum called Global Pulse Jam where individuals from around the world “met” to discuss a variety of issue related to international development. The organizers are planning a similar event–Service Jam–from October 10-12, 2010. Since the venue is virtual, you can participate from anywhere around the world. Registration is free but space is limited to first come, first served.

Harris Wofford, U.S. Senator, Pennsylvania
