Each voice can bring a little help and a whole lot of hope to their communities and the world as a whole. That's the message behind BlendtheWorld.com, created by fashion house Blend.
There's a community online that is working with the belief that one individual can make a difference in the world.
Blend the World knows that they can't dissolve global issues with the use of happy sayings and bumper stickers. Instead they believe that they can shine a light on one big problem, the bigotry and hate that seeps evil throughout the globe.
"We are tired of negativity, bigotry, and hate. We are ready to come together to celebrate a world united by diversity and the things we have in common, not the things that tear us apart."
The group comes from the fashion company Blend located in Vejle, Denmark. The company caters to free spirited young men and women. It was started in 1993 and is now one of the largest European fashion houses with more than 250 employees at the main office and an additional 200 sales reps. The fashion house distributes to over 60 markets around the world.
The group has challenged artists to upload photos, artwork, music or videos to the blend the world's page at Facebook.
The group's manifesto is:
Blend the world, see what it brings
Diversity is the order of things
Turn and face a stranger with a smile
Wear your badge of life with style
Embrace your neighbors, live and let live
Always remember you are what you give
Show your heart, put flowers in a gun
Find the best in others, have some fun
For every no, there is a bigger yes
Strive for greatness, accept nothing less.
Man or woman, boy or girl,
Open yourself, Blend the World.
