One Dollar Day 20th October

http://www.1dollarday.org/

Some children in the world have so much, while so many have so very little.

8 million children die every year from preventable diseases.
67 million school-aged children are not in school.

But in a single day we could begin to turn these statistics and inequities around.

1$day – when we ask everyone who can, to give $1 for those who can’t.

Please visit the link above and give $1 and please pass on the message.

The Power of Youth

Children/Youth are without a doubt the world’s greatest resources. They contain a wealth of enthusiasm, energy, curiosity and open mindedness that hold the answers to many questions and the solutions to many problems and challenges we face in our world.

Enabling children to become part of the solution and honoring their creative abilities to effect positive and sustainable changes within their own environment and the world at large, is an unquestionably necessary part of the answer in creating a world where they may thrive and feel inspired and hopeful about their future.

We need to restore in ourselves and others the idea and belief and feeling that anything is possible, not just for a select few of us but all of us.

There is an abundance of creative energy out there in the world, many with no clue as to the gift that they hold. Providing a platform where for them to explore and embrace it is vital. What this world needs is a wealth of creative people in every field working together to drive change necessary for the survival of the human race.

Helping youth connect with their creativity has a profound effect on the way that they live their lives and in turn the lives around them.

Threads of Conscience Stop Press

Offering an alternative to the world of mass media which more often than not produces magazines and newspapers filled with irrelevant information, full of half-truths and the constant perpetuation of negative drama and lies.

For every media article that highlights useless and irrelevant information that perpetuates needless gossip and negativity and there is another story to be told, a story of hope and courage, care and bravery. There are untold stories of lives and experiences unfolding every moment that need a platform of expression to inspire and encourage others to make positive changes where they can. I hope that Threads of Conscience can provide that platform.

With everything we eat, every item of clothing we wear, every product we use,every piece of media we read, we make a choice.

With every purchase we make we endorse a product and support a company or a corporation.

We can choose to be part of the solution or be part of the problem.
