Don Pino‘The things I do must be a sign, not to turn everything around…
that would be an illusion.
No, it’s just a sign to encourage others,
especially the young. I do this to be able to say
that, because there is nothing, we want to roll up
our sleeves and build something. And if everyone
does something, then together we can do
so much…’
Sara from Lanarkshire“In a world of consumerism and celebrities,
we’re always being told to be someone different.
It’s actually much more fun just to be yourself, but fully alive, and most of that comes through
your relationships with other people. I think that’s how God works, showing us how extraordinary
ordinary people really are.”
