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.
