Change Through Cross-Community Work

Picture

In life I think you have to have a belief that every individual matters, so it doesn’t matter who you are, your voice is important. And it is so easy to say, “What can I do? I’m only one person.” But if each individual person does the right thing, eventually the individuals become the majority, and the majority can then change what happens in the world and in that society. So talking to people that you meet will influence their way of thinking. It also helps bring change, and sharing your ideas and being open to theirs, and that’s, I think, what I feel about that.
