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.”
