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.

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

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