This Is The World We Live In's photostream

These are the photos we've taken while traveling the world. Un-edited, un-touched, all natural (unless noted). Though we took these photos, they don't belong to us. Use them, re-mix them and share them how you wish. If you chose to link back and give us some credit, that'd be awesome, though we won't come after you if you don't...as the bedouin say, "As you wish."

"In an effort to uncover humanity’s most pressing dilemmas, Brooke Dean and Levi Felix are traveling the world to meet those individuals and organizations who are addressing these problems and documenting how their activism is making a difference. Spanning topics from freedom of speech to border control; environmentalism to education, Brooke and Levi will be covering a variety of local, regional and world issues. This blog is that of their adventure and of those who they meet along their way."

For the next year we will be traveling around the world capturing stories of leadership and heroism, learning about communities in need and conflict, and connecting them with the support of those looking to give it. We will meet as many activists as possible, period; get our hands dirty, period; and come back with the weight of those no longer strangers. We will blog, vlog, tweet, widgetize and make sense of all we witness, providing the online tools and ensuring that our efforts remain both sustainable and repeatable.

To cross borders, boundaries. To see places previously only read about in books. To share stories in regions rarely covered by our media. To hear voices heard only through the lips of those who have been. To help those who may have been overlooked. We walk with high hopes. To understand how we as global citizens can differ so greatly, and still collectively dream beautiful dreams all together new. Connect, learn, give, act and share.
