“NEED”

This blog was conceived by one thought : “NEED”…our responsibility, but also our opportunity.

This blog will feature things good and bad, poverty, struggle and everything else that is possible, and our responsibility to change. The vast existence of these topics are the things that seem to discourage us from bringing change. The problem is not the existence of these realisms, the problem is rather a thought of peoples being overwhelmed by the state and intensity of these problems. Still, the answer is there in front of us, and clear. The question often; “where do I personally start?” The answer; “start where you are”. The solution is not necessarily to fix the problem individually, the solution is to be a catalyst towards the solutions for these issues. It is not doing everything, but it is about doing something.

Our aim should be to bring the solution to the problem and vice versa. Surely the solutions and intelligence are out there. Sometimes closer than we think. As we will find, the solution to these issues are about making the connection between the problems and the existing solutions.

Thus is the reason for this blog and the following reports hereafter. Not only to point out the Need, but also to make the connection between the need and the relevant, existing solution.

After a discussion with a friend regarding change and bringing the solution, one thing came to mind. It always seems more romantic to go somewhere else, help somewhere else, be a humanitarian somewhere else, another country, another continent. But often the need and our responsibility is right there in front of us. I am not discouraging those already filling a need somewhere else, i am merely opening the discussion for bringing change where you are, in your community, region, district, town. Seeing the need filling the need.

How do we bring the solution from Concrete Jungles to Grassroots and Grassroots to Concrete Jungles? Surely there is a connection between.
