Love in Action - A Photographic Documentary Book

Love in Action is a story of hope: how one ordinary neighbourhood in the corner of the world - Manly, in Sydney, Australia - formed a relationship with the people of Manado, Indonesia, to take action against poverty. From its small beginnings with only a handful of residents, this grassroots movement has captured the imagination of Manly's wider community. It now includes support of local council, local businesses, schools and churches, and over 13,000 residents.

With over 100 stunning photographs shot by photographer Stuart Harris and words by Jim Collins, Love in Action captures the inspiring story of a community taking action against poverty. Thousands of lives have now been transformed as opportunity, dignity, freedom and hope flow from the relationship between the people of Manly and Manado. Discover some of the treasures that can be unearthed through the efforts of a community partnership and learn how you too can play your part in making our world a better place.

Love in Action, the book, is available now. You can read the blog below and participate by leaving comments.

You can purchase the book online today. See the Buy Book button above. Profits raised from the sale of this book will be donated to benefit the communities that we visited in Manado.

Trading Fairly over the weekend

Thursday, 20 May, 2010 Posted in News

On Saturday Love in Action was featured as part of a Fair Trade event held at St Stephen’s Church in Belrose, NSW. Many people attended and purchased goods from local artists and producers, and in the evening people came to watch Amazing Grace – the wonderful film about William Wilberforce and his lifetime effort to see slavery abolished.

During the afternoon Love in Action raised $600 that will all be donated to Bridge of Hope to help give additional micro-loans to families living in Northern Sulawesi, Indonesia. You can read about how micro-loans can transform the life of the poor in the book, but hurry copies are extremely limited and available online Compassion and in person at Humphries newsagents in Manly.
