Recently, Bob Burg honored me by writing about one of my recent articles, Humbled by an angel at his Go-Giver blog. While I was there, I noticed a post by Bob about Colin Lewis titled, Go-Giving Wisdom (and the Proceeds Go to Orphans).
Colin’s passion is to help others achieve their potential. For years, he has been delving deeply into books to discover the ‘hidden wisdom’ within them and link it to his personal and professional experience to provide what he calls “School of Life” manuscripts.
Colin succinctly and beautifully summarizes these books into ‘Wisdom Notes’. Wisdom Notes can help to open our minds to new ways of thinking, provide inspiration, motivation and knowledge to help us on our path to self-improvement.
So why am I telling you this?
Via Wisdom Notes, Colin is focused on raising US$ 1 million for orphanages in Poland via the Chiva Foundation, which Colin and his wife recently established with a $55,000 contribution of their own.
By providing children with the opportunity to grow up in a ‘family environment’, they develop their core values, including being enveloped with love and community. The Chiva Foundation is committed to helping underprivileged children grow up in a safe, loving environment where they are also educated in life skills, arts, music and sport.
How can you help?
The proceeds from Colin’s Wisdom Notes are going directly to the Chiva Foundation. The notes sell for $45.00. For that price, you will receive 104 Wisdom Notes to books such as:
Man’s Search for Meaning, Tao Te Ching, The Letters of Seneca, Think and Grow Rich, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, The Wisdom of Heraclitus, A New Earth, Happy for No Reason, The Success Principles, Joseph Campbell Companion, The Magic of Thinking Big, The Writings of Emerson, The Diamond Cutter, The Prophet, Walden … click here for the full list:
As Bob Burg put it, “You will receive the benefit of Colin’s remarkable wisdom summaries and be supporting some terrific and needful kids at the same time.”
Colin has provided synaptici with these free samples of Wisdom Notes to the Go-Giver by Bob Burg & John David Mann and The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran! Have a peek and just click on PDF sample to view the Wisdom Notes.
Colin, you are making a huge difference in the lives of underprivileged children by bringing them hope and helping them to obtain an education. I wish you every success in your efforts and thank you for your giving spirit!

Hi Colin,
It is my pleasure to help you in your quest to help those kids! If there is anything more I can do, never hesitate to ask.
Rebel is so right. “The gift of knowledge can indeed change the world” but it will only happen through sharing that knowledge freely with those who are less fortunate.
To that end .. onwards and upwards says I!
Have a great week Colin.
All good things to you!
Cheers,
Gil

I am honoured and extremely grateful for your kind words and generous use of your time, thoughts and so much more for this beautiful post. I am blessed by the goodness of the Wisdom Note community that is helping the Chiva Foundation to grow and provide both subscribers and children the gift of knowledge. My dear friend Rebel Brown recently told me “The gift of knowledge can change the world” and through the wisdom of the great sages and current day thought leaders I hope that I can add a degree of peace and calmness to readers and development of those less fortunate.
Much love, laughter and light for your support and that of the Wisdom Note subscribers
Colin

Colin Lewis’ Wisdom Notes give me an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to support children–what amazing gift they are to the world. I love the way Colin combines the words of the author, his own insights, and weaves in some of the wisdom of the ages.
It is my fervent hope that everyone who reads this blog post subscribes, and passes the information along to their friends and colleagues.
It’s an opportunity for you to have an impact. You can grow in knowledge and wisdom, and can help Colin improve the lives of children.
