Jane Goodall Instagram – It’s Roots & Shoots’s birthday!! 🎉🍰🥳
 
34 years ago today, a group of students in Tanzania gathered on Dr. Jane Goodall’s porch. Like many young people throughout history, they saw the complex issues facing their community and the world, and felt overwhelmed. They told Jane how they felt discouraged, thinking there was nothing they could do. 😥
 
Jane encouraged these students to turn their attention locally and to focus on the small actions they could take right then and there. Together, they created Roots & Shoots, which supports the development of service projects with easy-to-follow steps. Soon, there were multiple groups in Tanzania and beyond, each working on projects benefiting people, other animals, and the environment we share. 🤝🐵🌍
 
Today, Roots & Shoots is active in 75 countries and growing, each taking action to change their communities for the better 💚 Help us celebrate 34 years of youth-led community action by sharing this post with your own inspiring community project!
