My community recently participated in an online competition for consideration for funding from a corporate donor. At first we were encouraging people to only vote for our own project, but we were a small community and were not generating sufficient numbers. There were some other small communities on the other side of the country who were in the same boat. We began to support each other, potentially giving the competition a boost over ourselves, but recognizing their effort and need. We left messages of encouragement for each other, we voted for each other. We encouraged and voted for an individual project that was discouraged by their lack of followers.
Not only did the three small communities succeed, we all won in that we found a larger community and had the chance to give back while we were making a request.
"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. "
~Albert Schweitzer
Employment counselling is rekindling. Where else can we do this?
In co-operation,
