Living With Purpose | The Shining Light Project | Benjamin Western

A Grandad who included the excluded, and why the Shining Light Project and Living With Purpose begin everything with hope. Not the passive kind, the active kind. Living With Purpose | The Shining Light Project | Benjamin Western

Dear all,

After seven years of running workshops in schools and businesses, The Shining Light Project is now ready to share our work more widely than ever. And that begins with our very first newsletter!

(Almost) Introducing our Founding Team

We recently assembled a new team of fourteen people (yes, fourteen!) This is our founding team - a group of committed volunteers united by a simple goal: to spread ideas and tools that help positive change happen. We will introduce the team in the new year.

The first big milestone with this new team? We will be launching our first film: “It’s Never Too Late: The Story of Mama Arlene and Hope Made Real”

Last year one of the most precious people in my life committed suicide. It felt even more brutal because he was such a beautiful person that gave so much of himself to others, including me. His wife and three children survived him. Over the past three months, I have trained to become one of the 22,000 Samaritan volunteers. This article is about light in the face of darkness.
