The Ripple Effect with Extraordinary Food

		“I would like to share with you a simple idea I have that would give everyone the opportunity to make a difference in this world. Imagine that when you buy something, you will help to feed a hungry child. At Extraordinary Ones we believe it is possible to change the world one child at a time just by the purchases we make. I remember that when I was a little boy, my favourite pastime was to sit by the river to watch the passing ships. When they left, I would sit fascinated and watch as the waves gently rolled my way, one after the other. Watching the ripples as they rolled on tirelessly through the water, it dawned on me how they gently affected everything around them. And it got me thinking. I truly believe that we can apply this principal - this Ripple Effect - to all the social, cultural and environmental issues we face in our world today. Imagine if just one person shifts their attitude. Add that shift rippling through their family and friends, and then their friends, and their families, and so on, and soon there is an opportunity to create massive change. And what if this Ripple Effect reaches further and wider, and what if it continues to provide new opportunities for other children and for their families. This creates a glorious ripple of hope - potentially changing many people’s outlook, just like that.” Learn more about Extraordinary Ones at www.extraordinaryones.com
