Since the media is full of depressing stories of war, environmental destruction and social injustice, it has led to most of us becoming angry, demoralized or numb to the state of our planet. However, alongside
the countless problems of our world, there is a movement, that is powerful, but fragmented. People are working in their pockets of the world to make a difference in their own ways.
In the words of legendary thought leader, Paul Hawken, ‘This is the largest movement the world has ever seen. Rather than control, it seeks connection. Rather than dominance, it strives to disperse concentrations
of power. Like Mercy Corps, it works behind the scenes and gets the job done. Large as it is, no one knows the true size of this movement. It provides hope, support, and meaning to billions of people in the world. Its clout resides in idea, not in force. It
is made up of teachers, children, peasants, businesspeople, rappers, organic farmers, nuns, artists, government workers, fisherfolk, engineers, students, incorrigible writers, weeping Muslims, concerned mothers, poets, doctors without borders, grieving Christians,
street musicians, the President of the United States of America, and as the writer David James Duncan would say, the Creator, the One who loves us all in such a huge way’.
Stories for Change will unite these people, through the means of a short story collection and a documentary film. We are documenting stories of people around the world who have done positive work to benefit
the human community, environment, or animals. These stories could get lost in time, if we don’t share them now. Yet, if we do, they could become food for our souls. Our website:
www.storieschangingtheworld.com will give you more information on this project.
Our dream and vision for this project: is to help millions of people to get a clearer vision of themselves, as they stand in front of the mirror, to have unobstructed peeks into each others’ hearts, to gaze
at those tall trees in the forest and know in their hearts, that it is possible. It is possible in this lifetime.
These stories could get lost in time, if we don’t share them now.
Remember, we are in this together. What you do, makes a difference. Make a difference now. Support Stories for Change.
