I have always said that nonprofits should be the tools communities use to create change. I left a nonprofit because their ideas were to abstract and did not account for the real needs of the community. As I am sure, you know change does not come from the outside in. It comes from the inside and reaches out. Communities simply need a catalyst – a catalyst like Epic Change. Nicely done Stacey!

[...] Give us 3-4 years & imagine Kiva (except bigger loans to grassroots leaders of community improvement efforts rather than individual entrepreneurs) mixed with the RED campaign, (except our product designs will be designed to share the stories of children like Gideon and Glory).

I LOVE this blog because it focuses on the potential that exists within each one of us, the potential to love others and succeed in life. This potential is especially evident within the children of Arusha. If everyone could see the potential in everyone else the way Epic Change does, the world be a much better place. Thanks, Epic Change!

I absolutely could not have written this any better. What you describe is 100% true and completely wonderful. It is exactly how I feel every time I think about my time in Tanzania.
