Charlottesville

November 5, 2018 by johnnoltner

Yesterday was a driving day. From Parkersburg, West Virginia to Richmond, Virginia to pack up an exhibit at University of Richmond. We stopped at a rest area just across the border into Virginia and I looked at the map. “We’ll go right past Charlottesville,” I said. “We should stop and see if we can find the place.” It was just about dusk when we rolled in. 60 degrees and clear skies, which feels pretty good to a Minnesotan in November.

Andrea Cano

June 29, 2018 by johnnoltner

Andrea Cano trained to be a hospital chaplain in Portland, Oregon after working in journalism and nonprofit administration. She followed her passion to be with people when they are at their most vulnerable, to help them deal with their own suffering and healing. “We become so much about human doings, we forget to be human beings.” We’ve got to stop drawing lines in the sand and find moments of being together. Peacemaking, for a lot of people, is a very […]

Do they cry?

October 20, 2017 by johnnoltner

She walked right up to me. I think she was in 8th grade. “Can I ask you a question?” she wondered. Of course. “Do they cry? These people you interview?” Often, I told her…and so do I. There is something powerful about an open and honest exchange. When you give someone your full attention and make it clear that what they have to say is important, it can be a moving experience. “I’m Syrian,” she said, “and sometimes when I […]

Powerful interview and photo shoot this morning with Patricia Flowers, the education coordinator of the Holocaust museum of Peru. Grateful for the connection through @gooddeedsday and the translation help by @krummindustries #neverforget #teachkindness #limaperu #apeaceofmymind #gooddeedsday

I’ve never done a studio series in any language other than English.. so for this work in Lima, Peru, I’m deeply grateful for the translation help of my longtime friend Jason Krumm who I met 20 years ago on an aid project in Honduras. As it turns out, it’s a whole new layer of complication and challenge...and it has been absolutely worth it. Exporting the Spanish version of the video now... #translation #english #spanish #limaperu #gooddeedsday #apeaceofmymind

Going to be a long production night after gathering nearly 100 stories from the folks at the @gooddeedsday gathering in Lima Peru...but beautiful people and powerful responses to the question, “What inspires you to do good?” Looking forward to sharing some of them with the group tomorrow. #dogood #gooddeedsday #apeaceofmymind

So glad to partner with @gooddeedsday in Lima, Peru for their 3rd regional conference in Latin America. Good Deeds Day works in 108 countries to encourage people to do good for others and for the planet. “Doing good transcends language.” At this conference, with 110 people from 20 countries, we are asking people, “What inspires you to do good?” #gooddeedsday #apeaceofmymind #latinamerica #limaperu
