2 What action can we take as a family a b c d Begin by thinking of action in your home. Use your list of values and decide on one action you will take to show that you are putting this value into practice. You might choose respect. Make a sign and put it up in the kitchen, for example: “WE WILL NOT SHOUT AT EACH OTHER”. Now think about action you can take outside your home. Talk about problems and issues you feel strongly about. Let each member of the family, even the youngest, give their ideas. It could be things like: bullying children who come to school hungry the litter in the taxi rank the mud around the water pipe where you fetch water. Sit together and close your eyes. Each family member is to imagine your family taking action around one of the things you have discussed. Sit still and quietly for at least 10 minutes, just imagining. You may also choose to pray about these ideas. Then talk about what you saw the family doing. Decide on one simple action. Start small! You could follow the project planning steps on pages 29–59 if the action you choose needs more planning. 22
