Since the end of World War II the United Nations (UN) worked and, is still working, to maintain the world peace. Numerous decisions have been taken to make this world a better place. Unfortunately we are still not there.

We are still striving to make our lives better, but we don't think about the fact that if we make the world a better place to live, we'll improve not only our lives but the lives of the next generations to come. No one likes living amongst the hate in the world, and there is so much of it. But the only way that things are going to change is if we start the chain reaction.

Helen Keller once said:

"I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do."

We have so many people who really are trying to make this world a better place.

Nate St. Pierre is the founder of "It Starts With Us", a global group of people committed to changing the world in just 15 minutes per week. The team focuses on changing one family's life by easing their financial burden so that none of them is forced to do criminal activities.

Anne Frank said:

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."
