I had a really amazing time with the students from Narrogin High this week. What a creative, imaginative and amazing group of young people!!! Surely God’s nonviolent revolution starts with these ones! :) And amazing responses from the students as well. Below are links and ideas for going deeper:
So where to from here?
Step 1.
Find at lease 2 others that want to take this stuff seriously
Step 2.
The 3 (or more) of you choose a project
Step 3.
Do something! Make it:
- fun (who wants to do something that’s not fun!)
- invitational (so others can join ya fun!)
- open (get it in the school newsletter, tell ya principal etc.)
- set a goal and have a party (celebrate!) when you achieve it!
Remember teachers might want in as well (despite popular opinion they are people too)
So what can we do?
Dream, pray, imagine be creative, bold and courageous in your compassion! Here are some suggestions of things to start:
Get fair trade shoes for your uniform!
An Amnesty International group
A prayer group for God’s dream to become our reality
Get involved in “Face Up to Poverty”
Plant trees…
Anything.
How can I go deeper in the stuff we talked about?
