Changemakers Without Borders
Changemakers is about the movers and shakers that take the lead in the social, spiritual and scientific sectors of society to make their surroundings a more meaningful place to live in. But this is just also about their story—the sprouting of an idea, the guts that it took to get there, the people that supported them along the way—so that we can be inspired to be changemakers in our own lives.
