Have you changed the world today? I have and I try to each and every day, even if its helping someone in some small way. If you're visiting this website, you obviously have a desire to change your world. What's stopping you?
I know that becoming a parent inspired me to work even harder to be the change I want in this world. After all, if I don't, who else will? I refuse to pass the broken, fragmented world that exists today on to my children and grandchildren. So why not help me?
Let's start with who I am. Kari Niedermaier, founder of Parents for Change, and Mama Extraordinaire of 4 beautiful children (soon to be 6!) I have been working with parents for 8 years, teaching, advocating, and community building. Daily I am inspired by the parents I work with... doing things for their children, their communities, and this world that I never dreamed possible. I began informally coaching other parents to "find their calling" 3 years ago in Los Angeles, CA. 9 months ago I started working on a web community called REAL Village, that will launch in early 2009, to inspire parents and parents-to-be to consciously and gently consider how they raise their children, from pregnancy onward. That endeavor led me to Parents for Change, a place where parents who also want to inspire other parents through education, advocacy, and community building can come together to share ideas, tips, and stories about their projects and their journeys. So come along and join us... Let's change this world together!
