THE POWER OF ORDINARY COMING TOGETHER FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY

CHANGE150, by the non-profit LetterFarms, has been on a people-powered mission to mobilize handwritten change ideas on simple postcards by ordinary citizens, predominantly the youth, across India from the ground up, to bring their voices of change to the national center-stage, and further inspire young India to go beyond their regular call of duty and think for the greater good --- inspired by the timeless change-mantra of Mahatma Gandhi for a unique celebration of his sesquicentennial year.
