Start sharing positive stories!
Do you know of an Inspirational Story? Kate is looking for artists, athletes, politicians, humanitarians, scientists and others who are making their communities better through innovative solutions to common global issues. Suggest a story today! …
Worldviews Project is an ongoing initiative. Thank you to all of those who hosted Kate during 2012 and who suggested stories! You made a huge difference! Currently Kate is also looking for the following:
- Opportunities to share the stories she has collected. Invite her to come and speak at your event today.
- Volunteers with unique perspectives. Do you have a minority perspective you would like to share? If you are someone who has a unique story and have one hour of time, Kate would love your help in her next session for youth. These one hour sessions allow students to interview people with different worldviews and understand that we have more in common than we realize!
- Facilitating Sessions. Do you need someone to facilitate a session on storytelling, diversity, building bridges or team building? Invite Kate to lead a session.
It would be a great help if could you add ‘@addthis’ to your website so that we can easily post your website/blogs to twitter and facebook… thanks!
Thanks for your comment! I’m working on making this happen now. For now you can cross-promote on the existing social media sites. Eg. http://www.facebook.com/worldviewsproject or @worldviews2012
Hello Kate, I heard your interview on CBC this afternoon and found your energy and enthusiasm contagious! I wish you well on your quest.
Here’s an idea for you. About five years ago I joined the board of a charity called Water School. It is an organization that teaches Ugandans and Kenya’s (so far) about their ability to purify their water through SODIS (Solar Disinfection). The basic premise is that you can put a bottle of water in the African sun (don’t try this in Calgary) for a day and the sun kills all the bad things (like e.coli).
I’m sure our Ugandan staff would be more than pleased to have you tag along and see the impact that this simple and sustainable method is having on their communities. Have a look at our website and see if it would fit with what you are looking for.
The things you said that really caught my listening ear were: water, Uganda, and schools – we are doing clean water in Uganda largely through schools and schools in Canada are teaming up with Uganda schools through Skype to partner n the cause.
All the best and let me know if you want to contact our Uganda staff.
Dave Ericson
Chairman, Water School
Dave, I am fast running out of time to visit this project. But I wish you all the best in your efforts!
Hi Kate, it was nice meeting you today. I am impressed with the tour that you are doing in search for Inspirational stories. For sure the world needs more missionaries like You and I to progress sustainably. I hope XtraOrdinary Magazine will serve as one of those stories that move the world. Be blessed
Thanks Brian. I am really excited about the work that XtraOrdinary Magazine is doing to help bridge the gap for entrepreneurs and help provide guidance and mentoring for them to move forward! It is rare in life to meet people who have a dream and follow it through to completion and I am honoured to have met you.
