It isn't easy to stand up in a crowd, it isn't easy to go against the norm to champion and issue that you are pationate about. Along the way people will shut you down, try to discourage you or simply just not understand. As we set out to make change around the world and here in our own backyards it is important that we remember two things:
1. It's not going to be easy, who ever said it would. Never loose hope because remember that there are always others out there who believe in what your doing and are here to support you.
2. When faced with doubters you have a new task, although it is easy to get frustrated, it is now your job to teach them and help them to understand.
It isn't that anyone in this world doesn't want to make change it is often that they just don't know how or are afraid to try and conquer what seems to be a monstrous task! That is where you, WE, come in. Be it one step at a time to raise awareness for a cause or one We Day dance at a time to bring a smile to someones face. It is those small actions that when combined with great love can and will change this world.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A big congratulations to everyone who came out with smiles on their faces for the Gulu Walk, this is the kind of thing that is going to make change: small actions with great love (if you can call a walk across Downtown Toronto a small act!)
UP NEXT:
This coming Saturday is a mandatory MOB event for anyone who has not participated in one this year (i.e. the kick-off or the Gulu Walk.) If this means you and you cannot make it, don't worry, but you need to send an e-mail to torontomob@gmail.com
If you have already attended a MOB event this year we totally want you to still come out Saturday! We are going for 100% attendance this Saturday, let's do it!
The Event
On Saturday (October 30th) we will be cleaning up the Kensington Market Community from 1-4pm, following that we will be doing some awesome activities and maybe even make a trip down to see Scott Hammell at Union Station for the Halloween 4 Hunger event!
Where: College and Spadina
What to bring: Older clothes that you don't mind getting a little dirty and gloves (if you have them.) We will provide the rest!
Stay tuned to the blog for a special surprise in the upcoming week!
