There are many different ways to view the career of a man like Lord Neil Gibson, whose different activities and endeavors have taken him to every part of the world—literally! In a previous part of this website, we offered a chronology of sorts, a timeline of the different ways in which he’s been involved with diplomacy and with humanitarian work. What might be just as helpful is a quick rundown of his endeavors on a nation-by-nation basis—a way to see just how well-traveled this global ambassador really is!

West Africa. We start in the region where Lord Neil Gibson once served as Ambassador at Large, and where one of his most astonishing relief campaigns was launched. In this troubled part of the world, Lord Neil Gibson struck an unlikely but highly effective partnership with Firestone Tire Company. They shipped rubber from their massive plantation in Liberia; once the rubber made it to the U.S., Lord Neil Gibson filled the empty shipping containers with much-needed books, clothing items, and supplies, which Firestone was able to distribute throughout Africa!

Iraq. Lord Neil Gibson has been integral in efforts to rebuild the infrastructure of this nation—and to build hospitals, as well!

The United States of America. You might find it hard to believe that Lord Neil Gibson would be as active in our own backyard as he is in other needy countries, but of course, we have needs here, too—particularly in the still-struggling New Orleans, a city to which Lord Neil Gibson has sent much funding and financial support.

Lesotho. Lord Neil Gibson has partnered with both the royal family and major corporate investors to rebuild this tiny nation’s economy.

Belize. Currently, our ambassador to the world is working with the local government to see a major new road built, and also to bring a film studio to the area!

South Africa. Lord Neil Gibson is working tirelessly to bring boxing and other entertainment events to this country, which will provide much-needed stimulus to the local economy!

Obviously, when you have a title like Ambassador at Large and a reputation for bringing humanitarian relief to nations as divergent as Hong Kong and Iraq, to say nothing of ravaged areas like New Orleans, it should come as no big surprise to learn that you’re plenty busy, and that you have different projects going on in many different nations. Certainly, this is the case with Lord Neil Gibson, a man whose ability to bring humanitarian aid to a needy nation is the result of his pragmatic approach, his many powerful alliances, and, more than anything, his refusal to give up or settle for a sub-par solution.

We have already addressed some of the global endeavors of Lord Neil Gibson. We talked about the amazing work he did as Ambassador at Large to West Africa, about his relief work in New Orleans, about his financial rebuilding in Lesotho, even his hospital construction in Iraq. But of course, we could go on and on. Here are just a few more of the many areas in which Lord Neil Gibson has been involved:

• Currently, Lord Neil Gibson is hard at work in Central America—specifically, in the nation of Belize. He is working alongside the government of Belize to build a road, one leading from the port in Belize into the nation of Guatemala, something much-needed in that area.
• Lord Neil Gibson is currently aligned with the government of South Africa to bring special events—like boxing matches—to that nation, and to promote them, something that will stimulate the local economy in many different ways.
• Additionally, Lord Neil Gibson is in talks with a California film studio to launch a production company in Belize!
• Finally, we might mention that Lord Neil Gibson is seeking to purchase a diamond mine in South Africa, one he would surely manage and promote in such a way as to be immensely beneficial to the local economy.

Clearly, Lord Neil Gibson is a busy man, and he’s busy doing truly important work—helping those in need and bringing economic relief to areas in dire need.

A world traveler, ambassador of humanitarianism and goodwill, and a true global citizen, Lord Neil Gibson has lent his considerable problem-solving, relief-bringing, and alliance-forming prowess to a number of nations all over the world. We have talked about some of them already. We talked about the amazing work he did when he was appointed as Ambassador at Large to West Africa, partnering with Firestone Tire Company to provide relief and much-needed supplies to nations in ruin. We talked about how he is helping to rebuild the economic infrastructure in Lesotho, and how he is doing much the same thing, as well as building hospitals, in Iraq. And of course, we have also discussed his travels to places as varied as Western Europe and Hong Kong.

But what might surprise you, at first blush, is that Lord Neil Gibson has also lent his services to folks in America. This might be surprising only because we typically do not think of America as having the same kinds of basic needs as somewhere like, say, war-ravaged Iraq, or tiny Lesotho. And yet, when you pause for a moment to consider recent events and current crises that America faces, it quickly becomes apparent that the expertise and humanitarian efforts of a man like Lord Neil Gibson might actually come in handy.

Is there a particular area that needs assistance? Why, the City of New Orleans serves as a prime example. You probably know that there have been many charities and organizations to take on the challenge of rebuilding this city in the wake of Katrina, and you probably also know that these efforts are ongoing, and that there is still much work to be done.

What you might not know is that Lord Neil Gibson has been integral in some of these ongoing efforts. Indeed, in recent years Lord Neil Gibson has met with high-ranking Louisiana officials and opened many doors for bringing public and private funding into the city—work that is essential for ensuring that this city continues to find its footing. All of this serves, quite simply, as further proof of the kind of impact Lord Neil Gibson has in needy regions throughout the world—including those in our own back yard!

In our highly politicized age, it’s difficult to talk about Iraq in bipartisan terms. Everyone has strong feelings about the state of affairs in that country, and of the United States’ involvement in it, especially. What many of us are inclined to say is that, regardless of the strategy and political maneuvering that went into the military endeavors in that country, the Iraq we see before us today is one that desperately needs to be rebuilt—rebuilt into a peaceful and prosperous nation. But of course, the ravages of war and the nature of politics being what they are, this is easier said than done. It takes real leadership, and clear ideas, to enact positive change in that nation.

And these, of course, are a couple of characteristics that Lord Neil Gibson has in great abundance. Indeed, we have already spoken at some length about the different ways in which this man has brought about positive change in nations across the world, and how he has done so through a combination of diplomacy, practicality, and alliances with both heads of state and corporate giants. That’s certainly the way we could view his collaborations with the royal family in Lesotho, or even his partnership with Firestone in bringing relief to West Africa. And that’s also the way we can view Lord Neil Gibson’sinvolvement in Iraq.

A big part of Lord Neil Gibson’s humanitarian work is centered on rebuilding economic infrastructures in crumbling nations, and Iraq certainly fits that bill. But how can one man rebuild the entire financial system of a nation in chaos? The answer, of course, is through an ingenious partnership with a major financial investment firm, specifically Wontert Capital AG, whose involvement in Iraq is critical to the success of Lord Neil Gibson’s endeavors.

And these allies are not just rebuilding the financial system. No, they are also building new hospitals in areas of the nation that desperately need them, offering further evidence of just the kind of positive change a man like Lord Neil Gibson can bring to a needy country!

If given a map of the world, how long do you think it would take you to locate the Kingdom of Lesotho? Geography buffs could find it in a matter of seconds, most likely, but anyone who isn’t rigorous in their knowledge of our world’s political systems would doubtless find it tough to spot. That’s because, for one thing, Lesotho is very tiny. And for another, it is actually located squarely inside of another nation—specifically, South Africa. The Kingdom of Lesotho may be tiny, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t also a very complex state, with its own complex set of problems, including a crumbling economy that, until very recently, seemed almost beyond help.

But help arrived just in the nick of time, and, as you might imagine by now, it arrived in the form of Lord Neil Gibson. By now we have made a few things quite clear about Lord Neil Gibson. For starters, we have made it known that he travels to many different nations—including not just bustling economies like Hong Kong, but also impoverished regions in West Africa, and yes, Lesotho as well. We have made it known that he extends to these nations goodwill, and that he has a knack for problem solving. And we have made it clear that a big part of what makes Lord Neil Gibson so effective is the way in which he is able to form meaningful relationships that yield potent results—for instance, his relationship with the Firestone Tire Company, which made a lot of his humanitarian efforts in West Africa possible.

And so it is in Lesotho. Lord Neil Gibson struck up meaningful connections with the government there, and has even worked very closely with the king and his brother. What he has done, basically, is secure the ability to work with the Twin Peaks Investment group to rebuild Lesotho’s economic infrastructure, effectively bringing a new lease on life to this troubled nation.

It’s a great example of the ordinary means—an equally profitable business venture, and a relationship with the governing body—through which a man like Lord Neil Gibson can make an immense difference in the world around him.

Lord Neil Gibson is a man with a reputation—specifically, a reputation as someone keen on extending goodwill and bringing humanitarian aid to troubled nations that really need it. The extent of his ambassadorial work and humanitarian relief efforts is so vast, however, that it can be a bit daunting just trying to keep up with it all. To simplify matters, and make things a little easier, it might make sense to view these matters chronologically, addressing the different phases of Lord Neil Gibson’s humanitarian career on a year-by-year basis. The following timeline is by no means complete, but does highlight some of the most important era of his earliest days as an ambassador and humanitarian.

1998-2000. This is the era we have already mentioned on a previous page, the stage at which Lord Neil Gibson was appointed Ambassador at Large to West Africa. In this role he worked tirelessly to bring much-needed supplies to impoverished communities. He raised support and collected supplies, clothing items, and books at California schools, and shipped them back to Africa in empty shipping containers, all thanks to a partnership with the Firestone Tire Company!

2000-2004. During these years, Lord Neil Gibson was appointed Honorary Consul General to Liberia, and was charged by the British Foreign Commonwealth Office with distribute aid to those in need throughout West Africa.

2004-2007. During this time, Lord Neil Gibson traveled the world and formed meaningful partnerships and alliances. His travels took him to such areas as South America, Eastern Europe, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, and various parts of Asia. He formed lasting connections with different businesses in the financial sector, and sowed the seeds for partnerships that would pay off huge dividends in the long run.

In 2008, he obtained his lordship—which does not indicate that he is a member of the British parliament, mind you, but at least offers some indication that he is an upstanding citizen!

And ever since then, Lord Neil Gibson has been forming connections and enacting positive social change in nations all over the world. We will talk more in depth about many of these opportunities, but for now, suffice to say that he is not just a citizen in good standing in his native Britain; he is a true citizen of the world, and he takes that responsibility very seriously indeed.

The phrase “goodwill ambassador” is one that is often applied to movie stars and other celebrities, who, for whatever reason, become known for their positive political actions or their movements toward social change. The title is not just ceremonial, exactly, but nor does it indicate real, political power. It represents good intentions, and is not to be taken lightly, but those who have this title do not necessarily do much in a real-world, practical sense. Their role is largely to draw attention to worthy causes.

By contrast, Lord Neil Gibson is anything but a mere “goodwill ambassador”—though to be sure, he was and is an ambassador who works on foreign soil motivated by nothing but goodwill—and, in return, he shores up goodwill on behalf of himself and his country. But what were the specifics of Lord Neil Gibson’s work as an ambassador—and what kind of good was he able to do for those in need? Here’s a quick rundown of the pertinent facts:

• Lord Neil Gibson was appointed as Ambassador at Large to West Africa from 1998-2000, and he served his term with aplomb. He is still regarded very highly for his positive efforts in enacting real, effective social change in areas that were financially destitute and plagued by political corruption.
• He went into schools throughout the State of California and collected books, school supplies, clothing, and even computer equipment, all to be donated to the neediest communities in West Africa.
• Then, Lord Neil Gibson—in a stroke of true diplomatic genius—struck a partnership with the Firestone Tire Company, which happens to have a sprawling rubber plantation in Liberia. Firestone would ship their large quantities of rubber to the United States in enormous shipping containers; once emptied, Lord Neil Gibson arranged for those containers to be filled with the supplies he has collected, and then sent back to Africa!

As you can see, this is a man who knows how to concoct practical yet ingenious solutions to what might seem at first like very daunting problems—and in so doing, he changed a lot of communities and touched a lot of lives, one shipping container at a time!

We typically define an ambassador as someone who brings goodwill and positive intentions to troubled situations, looking for compromises and solutions to problems that will ultimately benefit everyone involved. By that definition, it’s difficult to think of Lord Neil Gibson as anything other than a true ambassador—not only in his official, appointed position as an ambassador, but in other ways, as well. Indeed, Lord Neil Gibson continues to do good work on humanity’s behalf, and his role both as a diplomat and as a more general humanitarian make him a true unsung hero, someone worth knowing about and even celebrating.

But who is Lord Neil Gibson, exactly? It’s amazing to think that a man who has done so much in terms of diplomacy and humanitarianism in foreign countries—ranging from African nations to troubled Middle-Eastern states—is still unknown to so many of us. Here is a quick rundown of the roles in which he has served:

• Once named “Ambassador at Large” for West Africa, a role in which he served for several years, Lord Neil Gibson has dedicated a great amount of time and energy to collecting, packing, and shipping much-needed supplies, including books, clothes, and computers, into West Africa. He was able to develop his own method of doing so by building a relationship with local business partners, ensuring that these supplies were safely delivered to the folks who really needed them.
• Enacting positive change in a troubled nation is one thing, but what many of us forget is that it takes the concentrated efforts of economists to ensure that change is sustained. Lord Neil Gibson has used his knack for finance to teach international communities and their representatives how to manage their financial assets effectively and efficiently.
• Lord Neil Gibson has created new and improved shelters and infrastructures for people living in troubled or impoverished countries around the globe. From the creation of a new road between the Port of Belize and Guatemala to the construction of medical facilities in Iraq, Lord Neil Gibson has used his resources to create positive, lasting change on foreign soil.

As you can see, Lord Neil Gibson is a real agent for positive change; learn more about this humanitarian, and witness the good work he is doing both at home and abroad!
