Peace Workers: We all make the difference...

For new year's eve, I'd like to go with a little story. A high tide is tossing thousands of fish on a shore, and slowly all of them are on their way dying. A man passing by goes down to them, and drops two back in the water, then two others...Another man walks to him and says: "My friend, what you're doing won't make any difference. Can't you see how many they are? Go home. Leave it". The other grabs a fish from the sand, and before putting it back in the water answers: "For this very one, my friend, it is making a huge difference". This story is the motto of Peace Workers, an freshly-born organisation that crossed my road, helping a lot in many fields, hoping to spread around and open eyes. I'm not advertising an NGO, but sharing what I've thought being a moving philosophy. So here's my very private New Year's eve wish for all of us: rather than keeping saying that all troubles we read and hear are just out-of-reach, how about we all save a single fish from our own waters this year? Just one. And start making a difference...
