International Day of Trust - 3rd May



Wow. What an amazing journey this has been, preparing for the International Day of Trust, the 3rd of May. A huge thank you to all the people who have participated in preparing the world's first t12 dialogue on trust groups, who have been out filming on the streets around the world, who have shared their thoughts with all of us, and to all of you who now choose to be a part of this special day.


A big, big thank you to my son, Lachlan, whose timely Mothers Day message to me 6 years ago planted a seed that continues to grow and is now reaching people in 6 continents. We share the celebration of the International Day of Trust with Lachlan's birthday, in honour of the awareness he raised in me. Happy 16th Birthday, Lachy!

The theme for this year - Imagine a world built on trust, sadly pre-supposes that we don't currently have that, but that it is a possibility. It is on that possibility, and on the vision for a world in which we learn to trust our purpose here, to trust ourselves, to be trustworthy and to build trust with those around us, that we have worked around the clock to share these gifts with you.

Enjoy!

Gift to you

 


We've been madly having The Simple Truth about Trust book translated into a number of languages for the International Day of Trust, for you to share with friends and people you may know where English is not their first language.

Here's what we have so far for you to download and share:



We will continue to add more, as we still have Spanish, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Korean, Arabic and Russian to go.

We will let you know in future newsletters when they are available, or you can email April at april.hasselmann@entente.com.au and let her know which of these you are interested in having sent to you when it is ready.

Thank you for participating in the International Day of Trust, and watch out for more events and ways to bring more trust into your world, throughout the year, and next year's special day.

Vanessa
