Life Vest Inside
The vision of Life Vest Inside  (LVI) is to EMPOWER and UNITE the world with KINDNESS. LVI equips people worldwide with the necessary tools to recognize their own potential to become a catalyst for positive change in the world. They transform inspiration into action through inspirational media, technology, education, and on-the-ground social engagement. Check out what they are doing and how you can help change the world through the kindness revolution.

Jodie Cooper, Stephanie Meades and Terri Rowe developed the kindness calendar as a simple way to promote kindness in schools, homes and workplaces. Together they formed the Kindness Crew and are on a mission to make kindness a priority in the lead up to Christmas.

The intention behind the calendar is to inspire random acts of kindness and to start conversations around kindness that help to shift our mindset around what’s important. As our lives become increasingly busy it’s challenging to focus on what matters most, and Jodie, Stephanie and Terri think that the kindness calendar is a great way to bring our focus back to kindness. Why not download the calendar and try some of the ideas there.  One act of kindness could change a person's life.... what are you going to do?

Be The Change Australia’s purpose is to educate, inspire and empower individuals, organisations and communities on the path to a sustainable, just and fulfilling future.

This is an excerpt from Williams website called "The boy who harnessed the wind"

Through Moving Windmills Project foundation, I have worked extensively in Kasungu district, particularly my own home village, Wimbe. We have been able to build three classroom blocks with two classes each for the local primary school, Wimbe primary school. These new classrooms have solar panel installations that allow the students to study late into the night. We have also introduced a one-laptop-per-child initiative, which enables us to expose these youngsters on how to use computers at an early age. Our local high school too has been a beneficiary of your generous support. We have also installed solar panels and systems in Kachokolo high school, which allow the students to use computers for their studies. In fact, we have created a local network through the use of egranary, a box that stores academic information within a local network. It is like a digital library. This means that students don’t need to be online to access academic material. They simply need to access the local network using a router!

The man who single-handedly planted a forest bigger than Central Park
Jadav Payeng lives in a small hut on the Indian river-Island of Majuli in north eastern India, with his wife and three children.
A former labourer and forestry worker, Jadav began planting trees as a part of a government initiative in 1979. Then 16, he chose to remain behind after the project was over, in order to care for the plants and trees.

Some 37 years later, Jadav is still tending to his trees, now boasting an area larger than New York City's Central Park. The 550-hectare forest is home to many tigers, rhinos, deer, rabbits and apes, and is regularly visited by a large herd of elephant. Written by Marley Tinnock.
