Make a Social Resolution for 2009

Make a Social Resolution for 2009

The Issue

This New Year's, instead of making a resolution to change something about yourself, why not make a Social Resolution and commit to changing the world around you?

Villages Connected is inviting socially conscious individuals, businesses and nonprofits to re-imagine the traditional resolution by committing to act socially.

Share your resolution by clicking here.  While you're at it, try answering these questions:

What do you plan to do at home or abroad?
Who you will collaborate with to make it happen?
Why is this resolution important to you?

Individuals could donate to a humanitarian organization, volunteer, or even read a book to learn about an issue. Non-profits could lay out how they will foster change. Businesses build their corporate social responsibility through donations or to making a difference through their core business.

It doesn’t matter whether your resolution leads to change in Connecticut, Canada or the Congo. What matters is that you make it happen.

I specialize in Communication for Development. I recently facilitated a participatory media project with an indigenous community in Bolivia for which I was awarded a Governor General’s Gold Medal in Canada.
