Change the World

If I could change the world, how would I change it? Of course, I must first decide what I want to change and what into. Afterwards, I must think of a way on how to achieve that change.

It all starts with us, and our willingness to help create the world that we dream of. We don’t have to be someone famous or have a political position in order to make a change; we just have
