Los Alamos

Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA

Its landscape is largely defined by canyons and mesas. Even though an arid area, the green trees around provide stunning natural beauty and a relaxed atmosphere.

At the same time, its nearby landscape is a local of scenic and historic places. The Jemez Mountain is place for the Bandelier National Monument and Valles Caldera National Preserve as well. At Bandelier National Monument we can see the homes of Ancestral Pueblo people who lived there 900 years ago. The Valles Caldera National Preserve is a scenic area of the Jemez Mountains where remains part of a volcano erupted one million years ago. The Rio Grande rises in Colorado, flows nearby Los Alamos to Texas, where it forms the border between the US and Mexico.

Los Alamos offers many outdoor activities for all seasons such as fly fishing, skiing and snowboarding, golfing, swimming, rafting, rock climbing, biking and hiking. Los Alamos is one of the few places in the world where it is possible to ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon.

But the history of the city has been written since 1943. During the World War II, the government of the United States of America (USA) decided to build a Laboratory to produce the world’s first atomic bomb. Today, the Los Alamos National Laboratory is one of the premier scientific institutions in the USA. The core mission of the Laboratory is national security.

Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World
By Bill Clinton

After Bill Clinton had left the White House, he figured out that he wanted to spend the rest of his life giving his time to make a difference. To act as a giver, Bill Clinton established the Clinton Foundation with the purpose of "strengthen the capacity of people throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence".

He wrote this book to encourage all of us to give whatever we can, such as, money, time, things or skills to save lives, solve problems and give more young people the chance to live their dreams.
