Come Share The Book!

Hey There!

I'm wondering what is the best book you've read.  What book has inspired you to change you're life or do something extraordinary?  Well if you love books, why don't you come join us on March 28 @ 4pm and share the books you have loved.  This is an event the world has never seen before, in 6o locations around the world at 4pm local time people are gathering to Share The Book with people they have never meet and we want you to come be involved.  

All you need to bring is a copy of the book you think could inspire some else to go something great in their lives.  If you loved the book chances are the person you give the book too will love it too! I am wondering what sorts of books people will be parting with on Wednesday 28th March.  If you're thinking of stroll along download the flyer and pop it inside the book. The flyer explains a bit about the event and the Pay It Forward Experience and why the person is receiving this unexpected gift.

I'll be meeting up with
you guys in Ipswich at our
local Cafe for coffee!

As members of the Pay It Forward Movement we believe that a little kindness in somebody's life each day can help transform people's lives.  Instead of waiting for that person to repay us as individuals we as them to pay it forward.  I don't know if you've every read the book or see the movie, but I  had the chance to steal some time last week to read the book, and be inspired all over again.  If you read the book you'll know just how unpredictable who and how thing will be pay forward.  

On March 28 we won't be making a big announcement about the fact were sharing books, rather  we're hoping to catch people off guard and before they know it this unexpected event is unfolding before their eyes and you walk up and hand them your book and ask them to pay it forward someday, only to disappear back into the crowd with out a trace. Never knowing the influence you will have on some else's life.  If you'd think you'd like to be involved then check out our events facebook page .  We hope to see you there.

That March 22

is WORLD WATER DAY!

ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER

IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT!

Access to clean water and yet millions of people drink contaminated water every day. One might  suspect this is due to environmental factors such as drought or poor infer-structure in the third world, but this is only half the story.  We do have the ability to help develop clean water solutions in the most basic living conditions around the world.  Be also can bottle water for cooking and drinking, and supply equipment to clean contained water.

The main problem is not about the means and technology to provide clean water.  Unlike food supply, which is much more dependant on the environment, soil conditions and lack of best farming techiqunices and transfer of skills. Access to clean water in a lot of cases is about greed and control of ruling parties and corruption of Governments. In many countries where civil and tribal wars are occurring each day women and child put their lives at risk simply by going to collect their daily water needs even though in many cases the water is still contaminated even after boiling.  Often women and young girls are raped as they water kilometres to collect water each day.

Denying people safe access to even poor water quality water is a means of the warlords can bring suppression and oppression to the people.  It is also well document even in countries that are suppose to be democraticly run voting is often rigged and rebel armies deny access to polling booths.  The greed of a few denies access to water for the masses.Poverty in general is difficult to address because of corruption on a global scale.  This week Sevenly Tees pictured above is addressing the water needs of one village.  Their are other links to charities working toward clean water supply through out the world in our links section. Please help access to clean water in anyway you can this week,.

           

Vance Hyde 1922 - 2012 History Maker

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hyde family today.  As Vance, Catherine Ryan Hyde's mother passed away today.  As members of the PIF group we all feel a sense of lost to our Pay It Forward online community. 

Catherine Ryan Hyde is the author of Pay It Forward the book.  Catherine was the first person inducted into the Pay It Forward Hall of Fame earlier this year for her contribution to the movement. Catherine never dreamed that her book would inspire a movement, simply by asking other people to pay forward acts of kindness.  I confess to only reading Catherine's book last week.  It was one of those books that leaves you inspired to leave the world behind a better place than when you arrived. And we can certainly say that Vance Hyde has done that.

As a fellow writing a sat in awe as the book Pay It Forward took me on the most unexpected journey, as though to plead with the reader to never lose hope in the compassion of other human beings.

April 26 2012 would of being Vance's 90th Birthday,  so it seems so fitting the PIF community has renamed Pay It Forward Day 2012 - Vance's Pay It Forward Day.

On April 26 we are inviting you to Pay It Forward to someone in honour of Vance's memory.  

New Pay It Forward Day memorial cards will be designed and Posted to our downloads page in time to use on the 26 April.  Please be remember Catherine and her family in your thoughts prayers at this time.
