Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Hope is a human strength that enables people to overcome obstacles. Though it is an intangible phenomenon, its influence can be seen through a variety of accomplishments and triumphs of human endeavor. Hope can be introduced and cultivated. Some of the best purveyors of hope are educators and youth workers. Some of the individuals who need hope the most are children and teens. The relationships that caring adults build with youth provide nourishment, strength and safety amid a world rife with harsh social, cultural, economic, and political realities. In these cases, hope becomes a weapon that adults and youths use to fight despair and negativity, transcend challenges, and make a positive difference in their environment and world.
