The Inevitability of Hope Within You
Kalliana spoke about how we can be a participant opposed to sitting on the side lines. Global issues are not bigger than us. There is always a way to get involved and take action. For strength and motivation, look within yourself. Find your style of learning, embrace hope, and act.
