Good Afternoon, SuperForest!

A few days ago, I wrote about the Imaginary Foundation and their fabulous “You Can Make a Difference” flyer and also shared my own remixed version of the poster with the intention of cleaning it up a bit and making it more presentable, later.

After seeing my hastily-made version on the Imaginary Foundation’s website, it appears that “later” has arrived. :)

Check it out SuperForest, the classy black and white version!

And as always, feel free to remix my remixed version and share it with us!

Love to all you difference makers!

Imaginary Foundation: “Make A Difference” (Plus a SuperForest Remix!)

Good Morning, SuperForest!

There’s no need for any textual accompaniment for the lovely image, above. Simply seeing things like this is enough to really tug at the ol’ heart strings. And thanks to the fine folks at Imaginary Foundation, you can download the original pdf of the image here. There’s no denying its “awww” factor, but as I was posting this, there was something about the future tense of this piece of street art that I felt needed a little adjusting. So here’s my own quirky version, and in case you need a reminder:

SuperForesters, there is no question of whether you can make a difference…

You already do.

And we love and appreciate you very much for that. <3

Love from,

Your friends at SuperForest

Meet Dollar A Week

Hello SuperForest folk!

Recently, a friend of mine teamed up with five of her friends to establish a new initiative called Dollar A Week. I’m not sure what the response has been just yet, though I’m excited to help them spread the word and let it trickle as far and wide as possible. Here’s the lowdown:

“In early 2007, a group of friends sitting around in Sydney, Australia, decided that enough was enough. Tired of looking at a world caving in under the weight of poverty, hunger and disease, this group of six or so ‘no-one specials’ awoke to the idea that they, just as they were, could make a difference…

Everyone had a dollar in their pocket that day. And, unsurprisingly, each of them agreed that they wouldn’t really notice if that dollar went missing. In fact, they were willing to give it away. And another one, next week. And another one, after that. If only there was a way for that dollar to get to those who needed it most…

Enter: Dollar A Week.

Dollar A Week is a not-for-profit organisation that raises funds to provide financial support to various community projects and charities which are working to release people from poverty, hunger and disease all around the world.”

The idea is so simple, which is why I think it will take off. It illustrates that when enough people get on board, small change can make a big difference.
