There is a kind of revolution that doesn’t require human sacrifice, or mobilization, or hatred or fanfare, it starts from the self!
Every mini revolution can change the society bit by bit. Once we gather enough “bits”, this world could be a better place.
G!VOICE collected a series of mini revolutions done by Gamanians. Let’s hear their hot-blooded declarations. We bet you can’t wait to start one of your own to make the world a different place after reading it.
[ 1 ] Bottle caps can be a kind of revolution

A simple gesture: finish your drink, collect the bottle cap and throw the bottle away. Such an easy thing can actually help children in Africa to get vaccinated. Even though you don’t know them and will probably never meet them, they get to live healthily for your trivial contribution.
