This is the first in a series of interviews with the founders and members of Positive Change Core (PCC) to create a mosaic of relationship, perspectives, and reflections of their experience.
On Friday, February 5, 2020 Patreece Thompson interviewed PCC Founder, Marge Schiller, PhD.
Patreece: What are the images of hope that have evolved since PCC emerged from the ashes of 911?
Marge: It is clearer than ever before that the universal, multicultural image of hope is in children. We see it now in Haiti that what affects and moves us to action is the hope we see in their eyes.
What is remarkable about children is their purity, their deep connection to what is best in us as humans. They show us love, hope, and joy.
Patreece: As you are speaking, I’m remembering the picture of the young Haitian boy pulled out of the rubble left by the earthquake, raising his hands in victory, despite the ordeal he had just gone through.
Marge: Yes, Children ARE victorious…
Patreece: What are some high points for you in PCC creating a culture where the strength of children are uplifted and expanded?
