We all have a part to play in making the world a better place.

We can join forces and use our collective knowledge and experience to tackle some of the challenges we face.

This is not an easy task, but it's one that we should not shy away from.

Every day we can take steps to make positive changes in our communities and the world at large. We don't need to do anything huge, just small actions that have a significant cumulative impact when taken together.

By acting with compassion and understanding, we can be mindful of the needs of both ourselves and others.

Toni Morrison once said, “The function of freedom is to free someone else”. This simple statement encapsulates what it means to create positive change—that by having freedom ourselves, we are better able to help others also gain their own freedom.

In addition to helping others, climate activist Emily Johnston reminds us that “hope should be seen as a discipline—something that requires effort and dedication if we are going to make an impact on the world around us”. Through our actions, no matter how small they may seem, we can work together to bring about a brighter future for everyone.

So, let's ask ourselves every day: How are you? How can I help? And even more importantly: Hope you are OK! These simple questions allow us to reach out and build meaningful connections with each other that will help empower us all in creating positive change today and in the weeks ahead.
