"Problems are only opportunities dressed in work clothes." --Henry Kaiser
World's Largest Love Letter
The World’s Largest Love Letter, soon to be delivered from children in India to children in Pakistan, started as few projects do: for visa renewal! Two Americans visiting India needed to make a quick trip outside of India to renew their visas; how wonderful, they thought, if they could arrive in Pakistan carrying armloads of friendship letters – from children, to children. So they began riding bicycles from school-to-school, collecting letters for their journey. Their idea received an enthusiastic response, and in a short period, they had collected more than 30,000 letters. That was the beginning of Friends Without Borders, an organization made up of 99% children and some grown-ups who are working to let the children's voices be heard.
BE THE CHANGE
Got Bureaucracy? Come up with a creative project that makes problem "red tape" an opportunity dressed in work clothes.
