It makes the case for choosing a life free of alcohol and drugs – and not only for health reasons. It invites the reader to rebel against indolence, irrationality, prejudice, injustice and hatred; to stand for justice, clarity, community and compassion in the face of apathy and lethargy; to care deeply for humanity and to become a leader in the cultural change needed for society as a whole to fulfill its potential.

The projects primarily focused on education (including special education) and health initiatives, with the ultimate aim being not simply to help others but to empower local people and communities to take on active, leadership roles in their lives and communities. These projects were inspired by the vision and teachings of the Bahá’í Faith about spiritual empowerment and social transformation, and their practical application is explored with a view to learning about grassroots development.
