Community building by Baha'i's around the world

This professional video describes remarkable and effective grass-roots community building by Baha'is in many locations from major cities to remote rural villages. It works.

A article at Bahá’í World News Service says in part:
"...the film tells a story of transformation unfolding in 24 communities representing different realities and contexts. It focuses on three main themes: universal participation as a path toward collective prosperity, the vital role of young people in the transformation of society, and the emergence of a range of social and economic development initiatives that spring up from the spiritual aspirations of a population."
