Charity to Solidarity: From Crisis to Progress | Zoe Wild | TEDxSedona

Many of us feel the world is falling apart and feel powerless to do anything about it.
But what if a few small shifts could take us from desperation to inspiration? What if there is a new way of looking at the world and ourselves that could turn disasters into possibilities and ordinary people into a community of heroes? The old charity paradigm is unsustainable in a world where crises are accelerating so quickly and the challenges we face are shared by all. When we work together from a framework of solidarity and innovation, incredible possibilities can emerge for a new approach to the humanitarian sector. Zoe is Founder and Executive Director of One Light Global, an NGO dedicated to global humanitarian aid and innovative long term solutions for a more sustainable and egalitarian world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

It is so incredible to watch someone take the big messiness of life & say "I can do something, WE can do something" and DO IT! I was so inspired by Zoe's work that I woke up and started looking at what I can do. Nothing feels better then remembering that we are creators, that WE get to decide what our world will be, that we are all connected & that together we can create a New World Order. Your talk is engaging, lighthearted, real & left me in tears. Thank you for inspiring me / us with your bravery, love and "Can Do!" attitude. Love will win ~
