The Hummingbird

Listen to this article:

It’s very easy to feel overwhelmed sometimes with everything that is going on in the world, especially when we are constantly bombarded by news that rarely seems to have anything positive to say. We feel so small – any contribution seems so insignificant against this huge need.

We’d like to gently remind you that every small positive act ripples out in some way and that all those things you do – they do make a difference. They really do!

This story, narrated by Wangari Maathai, the extraordinary Kenyan environmental and social activist, is a beautiful illustration of why it matters. It’s only two minutes long but it says so much. Enjoy!
