 Editor’s note: Dear Friends, We often talk about the state of our communities and neighborhoods. Do we trust people around us, do we feel safe, and do we enjoy where we live or work? This week’s stories remind us to reflect on what role we might play in our communities. How might lending a hand or going out of our way to do a random act of kindness change our surroundings, our neighborhoods and our cities? The change may take a long time to become visible, but we have to be willing to start somewhere — to help create a world we want to live in. |

Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all is a form of planning.

Inspiring the Future: Redraw the Balance
Twenty children between the ages of 5 and 7 in the U.K. were asked to draw a fighter pilot, surgeon and fire fighter. This video captures the reality of gender stereotyping among school children, and how early on in their education, children already define jobs as male and female. 66 pictures were drawn, with 61 pictures of men. Watch the surprise and delight of the children when a real-life fighter pilot, surgeon and fire fighter are revealed to the class. { read more }
