The Starfish Parable
One day, an old man was walking along a beach that was littered with thousands of starfish that had been washed ashore by the high tide. As he walked he came upon a young boy who was eagerly throwing the starfish back into the ocean, one by one.
Puzzled, the man looked at the boy and asked what he was doing. Without looking up from his task, the boy simply replied, "I'm saving these starfish, Sir".
The old man chuckled aloud, "Son, there are thousands of starfish and only one of you. What difference can you make?"
The boy picked up a starfish, gently tossed it into the water and turning to the man, said, "It made a difference to that one!"
Hope For The One
At the Starfish Project we believe that each woman, each person, each
'one' is important. The issue of women being exploited, mistreated and
devalued is a global concern. Each of us cannot solve the entire
problem, but like the boy in the parable, we at the Starfish Project
focus our efforts on restoring hope for each woman, each 'one'._________________________________________________________________________
