A lot of people and businesses find it hard to take time out for doing things like charity work and team-building weekends. Its considered a luxury, and so it is as well, but it doesn't have to be. What if your job, just going about your daily business could help others? What if you could do something you love and see new results?

This is one of the basic ideas behind The Light Project- delegating what people have to spare and making charitable work exciting. Any hobby can be useful to someone, any interest could inspire an idea in someone else and any knowledge can be passed on.

I could go on and on all day but to make my point clearly, have a look at these guys. They make toys, they love it, and they are doing good with it.

That's the spirit! :)

The way of solving problems requires one fundamental change, a big one, and that is learning that the challenges of our generation are not us versus them, they are not us versus Islam, us versus the terrorists, us versus Iran, they are us, all of us together on this planet against a set of shared and increasingly urgent problems. By understanding those problems, understanding them at their depth, understanding what we share with every part of this world in the need to face these challenges, we can find peace.
