One person can make a difference. One story can inspire another.
One Person, One Difference is a NewsPositive editorial series featuring individuals who use creativity, courage, compassion and determination to help others. Some stories are based on original NewsPositive interviews; others are carefully sourced reports. We distinguish the two so readers know how each story was produced.
