Hello
Thanks so much for supporting Inspired’s
second print issue. This issue we’ve searched even
further across the globe to bring you stories of
extraordinary people – game changers, ecowarriors,
peacemakers and love spreaders all
united in their belief in something better, their
courage to take action and their dreams of a better
world.
We meet the gorgeous Jenny Bowen who virtually
singlehandedly transformed China’s orphanage
system after witnessing orphan girls tied to the
chairs in which they sat, motionless, vacant eyed.
She realised these forlorn babies needed one vital
thing – love.
We travel into the pulsing heart of the Asian jungle with Leif Cocks to save
the most endearing of creatures – the orangutan. We find out what drives
two young Aussie lads to dedicate their time to washing the clothes of the
homeless. We learn of the horrors of Nigeria’s witch child accusations, and
are left in awe at the work to rescue these outcast children. We see the magic
of ‘having the courage to be kind’ in the work of an Australian nurse who
volunteered to fight the ravages of the Ebola virus. And many more.
We hope these stories fire you up with the power of possibility, spark awe
at the amazingness of humans and inspire you to be the best version of
yourself. Just imagine if more of us had the courage to step up and unleash
our own brand of magic on the world.

The launch of Inspired’s first issue was a
gorgeous celebration of how much can be
achieved when people band together to be
part of something special. Thanks so much
to the wonderful people who supported our
crowdfunding campaigns by pre-ordering
copies of the magazine, and placing advertising
pages. Your belief in Inspired means so much.
Thanks to your support we realised the dream
of helping people feel good by injecting some
positive media into the world.
