Making changes

As we all saw on the video, making changes, especially small groups, is not something it is done out of nowhere. It is a difficult task, where you have to be completely involve and willing to face all the problems you will find on the way. Nevertheless, if your project is strong enough (like the condom project), soon you'll find support everywhere.

If you think about it, it is amazing what the condom project did to people in Thailand. Indeed, they saved lifes! Eventhough it was so simple to think, no one had considered that just by giving condoms and contraceptives for free, the country itself would be having less poverty. In effect, by managing how many children a family can have, and then start with family planning, people can actually have the control of their own lifes (and future).

So, if we consider that being a small group is not a problem, we could do some great things. But how can we start? Well, there are many groups already that are making a difference in people's minds, creating conciousness, spreading information, explaining things the way they really are, giving pieces of advice, writing things in public places, using art as a tool to symbolize the problems (stencils), and so many others!

However, there is one thing we need to have and it is as simple as be willing to make the difference. It is all in our hands. We are the ones who have the future in our hands. Maybe not economically speaking, but in terms of brain-using. I mean, if people would actually care, things would be so much different than they are today. Just, use your own brain and do not wait until somebody else starts doing something.
