"Giving time doesn't necessarily take more "time"; rather it requires a shift in one's mindset. The simplest thing everyone can give is the gift of a commitment to a value -- practice meditation daily, work out three times a week, donate money to a charity every month, whatever it is." --Nipun Mehta

If spending money is generosity, spending time is like generosity on steroids." So begins this interview with the founder of CharityFocus on what it truly means to give of our time.
