Jim Bennett
People have unlimited potential. They have potential in the arts, science, work, sports, whichever area they choose. However, their potential is often stifled by the world that we live in. Barriers to fulfilment include poverty, poor housing, an education system that disengages people, and the destruction of our environment.
Jim Bennett’s work offers part of the solution in reconnecting people with their potential.
