the Carter Center in nineteen eighty two. The Center has

52
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.879

charity awareness campaigns. Answer white. While many specific causes have

59
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.639
their own ribbon colors, the white ribbon is often used

60
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:10.159
to represent general charitable causes or all charities. It symbolizes hope, unity,

61
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.960
and the collective effort to make positive changes in the world. However,

62
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.360
it's worth noting that the white ribbon is also used

63
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.040
for specific causes in some contexts, such as violence against

64
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.560
women awareness. Thank you for joining me journey Joe Mitchell

on this uplifting journey through the world of charity and giving,

66
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.959
and remember, in the end, it's not what we have,

67
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.519
but what we give that defines us.
