Purpose

"If the world is saved, it will be saved by people with changed minds, people with a new vision. It will not be saved by people with old minds and new programs. It will not be saved by people with the old vision but a new program." - The Story of B, Part 1, Daniel Quinn

• Making More Friends - We offer suggestions and promotional tools, in the form of pamphlets, flyers, banners, signs, and information to help you encourage others to read Daniel Quinn's work. These promotional tools will help you make friends through increasing readership and increasing teacher usage in the classroom.



• Getting People Active - We link readers to local Ishmael groups and other active organizations. Because most action takes place at the local level, it is crucial to make it easy for Friends of Ishmael to find other friends and organizations in their vicinity.



• Publicizing Ishmael-Related Activities - We maintain a categorized storehouse of information about those who have put Ishmael's message in action. Seeing how Quinn’s ideas are beginning to translate into tangible, real-world changes is crucial for the morale of current friends, as well as in helping convince others to become curious about the remarkable ideas behind them.
