President Obama speaks very
fondly of Clooney's commitment
to help others. "Clooney is a terrific advocate on behalf of the
people of Darfur, and to the people of Sudan who've been brutalized for a long time," says President Obama.

Clooney shares a laugh with President
Obama at a Untied Nations meeting.

The president also recalls being
involved with Clooney's humanitarian efforts long before entering the White House. "Some
time ago I was working on a
special Sudan project and
George, who had traveled to Sudan and Darfur, had done documentaries there. He was very
well-informed on what was going on in those regions and was
kind enough to come and testify
in Congress," President Obama
says of his days as a senator.
"And so we got to know each
other. He is a good man, and a
good friend."
Clooney's charity work doesn't
just stop with Sudan and Darfur,
he also supports "Realizing the
Dream," a non-profit organization that seeks to continue the
legacy and work of Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. and Mrs. King
in wiping out poverty and injustice.
With all the wonderful charity
work Clooney is involved in, it's
no surprise that he was named
United Nations Messenger of
Peace in 2008, to help raise public awareness, and support for
the U.N’s peacekeeping efforts
around the world. Be inspired to
get involved with your community and with international charities that are making a difference
in the lives of those less fortunate. To learn more about
