The CHANGE MASTERS 

How long has it been since you were surprised by hope?

LIVE 8 CONCERT- JULY 8, 2005

 

 

 

 

"As you browsed the morning newspaper, when did you last feel a sense that the world was becoming a better place? That the forces propelling the future were on the right track? That the power of imagination was serving those with healing ideals rather than those with darker agendas? Overwhelmed as we are by images of bad news, it is easy to tacitly embrace the notion that humanity's only possible trajectory is downward. But that simply is not true..."

~ Cheryl Dahl (2005)

For this project you will be on the look for Change Masters around you, those who use their creativity, business smarts and hard work to create a brighter future for the world- social entrepreneurs who are using the work place to tackle poverty. So look around...who do you see? On your street or school, in your city, in your family.

Write about these people and send their story to The Change Masters Project. We'll post these stories in the Change Masters Gallery.

To get you started, here are Internet links to organizations and individuals who are  using their creativity, business smarts and hard work to create a brighter future for the world...using what they have to make the world a better place for all people.
