Stories of Hope Doing Hope... in Mexico
In May, 25 women participated in our first Learning Circle as part of the Amos Climate Fellowship. For this month’s Stories of Hope, Alexia Lizarraga Quintero tells the story.
In a world of uncertainty, hopeful stories emerge as beacons of inspiration. They remind us of the indomitable human spirit, of triumphs against adversity, and the power of compassion and resilience. These narratives illuminate our path, instilling faith that a brighter future is within our reach.
Stories of Hope is a monthly series of blog posts from the Amos team, sharing exactly that — stories from our partners around the world, giving an insight into how they build hope in the lives of the people they work with every day.

Stories of Hope Doing Hope... at Christmas
This month’s Story of Hope comes from Amos Trust Director Chris Rose as he reflects on what it means to ‘do hope’ during such a challenging year in the West Bank and Gaza. “Over the past year, it has felt as if hope has been buried under the rubble of Gaza. It has been as impossible to hear ‘another world breathing’ as it has been to hear the Palestine sunbirds sing. We have seen the very worst of people’s inhumanity and the outlook remains bleak.”
