20 Ways You Can Enable Change In Lebanon
The more a community or a country is struggling with issues, the more is the need for its members or citizens to contribute to the solutions and improvements. The choice is there.
We can whine and complain or we can act and become an agent of change.
And the change starts with each one of us stepping down our personally-set pedestal or out of our individual bubble, and proceed in helping and contributing to improve life around us.
After all, serving others and doing good is the essence of life that defines our humanity as individuals. It is even said that there is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.
When each one of us makes a small positive effort, we can become an agent of change, and make Lebanon a better place for everyone living in it.
Realistically, improvements to be effective never start on the roof but at the base, not on the top but on the ground where everything is at reach.
Today, The961 calls on you to be not the change but an Agent of it, contributing to a better Lebanon, a better society, a better community, and a better environment, and that is possible with established organizations that are already organized and at work.
You have the choice; now have the will. We are all in this together!
