About Me

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
M.A.D stands for ‘Making A Difference’ and our aim is pretty much that, anyway we can, in any area. It was started by young people, completely run by young people, for young people. Our goal is to inspire and challenge people to think beyond themselves, to put talk into action and to get involved!

One hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of home I lived in, how much money was in my bank account, nor what my clothes looked like.But the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child.If you woke up this morning you are ahead of the 1 million people who didnt survive the week. if you can sit down, read the paper and drink a cup of coffee, youre better off than the 500 million men, women and children around the world who are presently experiencing the horrors of war, the loneliness of imprisment, the agony of torture and the pangs of starvation.if you have food, clothes and a roof over your head, your richer than 75% of the earths inhabitants. if you have money in the bank you are among the worlds top 8 percent.We dont know how lucky we are!!!
