I’ve been copied on this message from a French writer looking for material. Up to you guys if you want to respond – I have no direct contact with her.

Sorry for the mass email but this is important: I am in the early stages of the preparation to go around the world – both the developed and the developing – to meet young people who are trying to improve the world we live in and write a book about all of them.I already have an editor in France interested in the project.

We – international students and professionals – all know someone in their home countries or elsewhere who is trying to change things around them. I would like to write about all these initiatives undertaken by people under the age of 35 who – each in their own fashion – are trying to make the world a better place. It can be people who have started their NGOs, who try and achieve political freedom, respect for human rights, and end to local conflicts, environmental initiatives, recycling, renewable energies… any project!

If you know someone like that, if you yourself have started such a project please contact me at le_clairon@hotmail.com or on +33 6 07 46 19 39.

I have an editor interested in the book, and I would ideally like to start out on January 1st 2006.

Thanks for your help and please forward this message to anyone who could help out! Let’s try and show that our generation is not entirely cynical yet!

Take care,

Claire
