Do you ever feel inspired to make a difference but feel too small and insignificant?
‘I sometimes find I get a bit overwhelmed when I start looking at how many different ways that we could be helping and serving.

Listen as Eloise, a young person inspired to make a difference in the world, talks about the call to serve others.
