CHANGING THE WORLD

Have you ever wanted to make a difference in your community but didn't have a clue as to what steps were needed to make a change? Did you feel inadequate because of your age and inexperience? Danny Seo addresses those questions and provides you with a guide on how to make a difference. He should know for at the tender age of twelve, he formed an organization of a few neighborhood kids to help improve the environment. His success was phenomenal. At the tender age of twenty-two, Danny further spurs people on to learning the basic steps in helping you get started in changing the world. Want to form a group to tackle a problem? Great! The books covers how to form a non-profit organization, getting publicity, funding and outreach. This handbook goes further in encouraging young people to get involved with their local governments to make changes, pursuing internships and working with businesses. I found this to be not only an inspiring book for youth but was impressed with the information provided for someone to begin the process of making changes. Seo's concept of being of service to the community is a breath of fresh air in a culture of consumerist capitalism. "Be the Difference" gives hope to youth, adults and organizations in working together to provide a better quality of life. Anyone working with youth or in education should have this book in their hands. The possibilities it provides for change are endless.
