How Hooray Cafe Came to Be...
One day a couple of years ago, I walked into our home where my nine-year old twin daughters and 12-year old son had created a diner. They invited me in to enjoy good eats and treats, plus some great company. It lifted my spirits. The sign on the easel for their establishment read, “Welcome to the Hooray Cafe!”
Flash forward to today. Could there be a better place than somewhere you can go to get, give, and feel good, like good news, good ideas, good stories, and a chance to hear about and do good deeds? We aren’t talking about pollyanna fluff that you can see right through, but actual stories of people like you and your friends–decent and compassionate members of communities around the world.
Much of what I have learned about individual and the collective good comes from a blessed life as an international river guide and adventure travel company owner, author, and global social good entrepreneur. I have studied and engaged in cultures in dozens of countries, amid the deltas of Botswana, in small villages of Siberia, along the streets of China, on muddy Bolivian rivers, and through deep conversations with luminaries and everyday heroes. With these travels, I have seen both the most uplifted and the most demoralized communities on earth. The uplifted ones have trust and goodness in common and the haunting ones are filled with fear and despair.
In addition to being a source of good news, we decided to build a platform that inspires and helps communities to be and do more–to make their own good news. Our Goodness’ Sake Project provides resources to towns across the country to grow better, as each town defines this growth for themselves. From our “Do Good Now” program to the “Good Deeds Director” handbook, we offer tools to help your local world flourish.
