  36. WHY is this exhibit important?To create long-term, sustainable change, it is necessary to work on removing “core problems” - which only can be done by changing attitudes and consciousness.

  37. WHY should I support it?Rather than putting band-aids on the symptoms, Hope Exhibits works to change attitudes that lead to behavioral change -with the potential of creating real and lasting positive change.

  38. PRACTICAL EXAMPLES:Instead of building more prisons for gang members...Let us reduce the need by giving young boys more positive role models to look up to and emulate.

  39. Rather than building more women’s shelters for victims of physical and sexual violence...Let us change negative gender attitudes and work to halt the violence.

  40. Rather than building more treatment centers for victims of armed conflicts, or for HIV patients...Let us create a more peaceful society.Let us work preventatively with HIV/aids. Let us work for more gender equity.

  41. Rather than building more children’s homes for AIDS orphans and abandoned children...Let us create a better chance for the next generation to grow up with present and healthy parents.

  42. Rather than focusing on what’s wrong with the world, and what’s not working...Let us focus on what’s RIGHT with the world, and create more of the same - more GOOD.
