Love and Peace <3
Eye opening to struggles in areas of the world once foreign to me
So gratifying
I am always looking for smart content that inspires me. I surf Tedtalks and even Facebook for recommendations - for stories that make me think and give me a sense of
hope. Found that in this. Seeds of Peace and the individuals highlighted here left me... inspired.
More than inspiring!
This opportunity to share in the journey of two journalists to engage with seven change makers in troubled parts of the world is beyond inspiring: it shows how individuals committed to make a difference to improve their societies, despite numerous risks and obstacles, can forge dialogue and incremental change! To witness those who are daring to try to forge change in a quest to foster a path of dialogue and peace is the seed that can harvest the ears and actions of others to join this path!
