Why Changemakers ? – 1 April 2010

The change comes from simple solutions, but from colorful and brilliant ideas. This is why the pinwheel makes the best symbol for social entrepreneurship. Build it easily, then take a deep breath and release the wind of change!

You might think: “Yeah, well, I like the pinwheel, but social entrepreneurship… where’s the fun in that?”. This concept maybe sounds complicated at a first glance since it is relatively new, but it all begins from solving problems.

We are sure you face and see issues in your community:

-    Piles of garbage at the suburbs of the city, dirty water, smoky air – pollution;

-   Sad faces, children working or begging, people missing water and food – poverty;

-   Health and sanitary problems ;

-  People with disabilities having  trouble in finding a way to earn their living;

-  Old people being abandoned, poor and without activity;

-  Ethnic discrimination;

And the list can go on endlessly.

The fact that you are still reading this post means you do not only observe problems, but you also want to make a difference and try to solve them. Solution comes from simple things – just like the pinwheel that spins in the wind.

The Changemakers project is here to help you solve social issues in a sustainable way and to guide you step by step in building the friendliest business for your community.

What’s the spirit of a Changemaker?

He is not idealistic and he might not smile all the time. But he sees opportunities in every problem and doesn’t hesitate to take action.

A Changemaker is a realistic dreamer – he has the head in the clouds, but the feet on the ground. He likes simple things and results.

A Changemaker knows that change begins from small actions, but he always keeps in mind the big picture.

A Changemaker is not in the center of attention, but he wants to achieve social impact.

A Changemaker is fulfilled when he brings smiles on people’s faces.

So… don’t you think it’s high time to become a Changemaker?
