The New Union -Gaia

http://www.ted.com/talks/kiran_bir_sethi_teaches_kids_to_take_charge.html

Here is another inspiring video about how chikdren can bring about change in India. I have been feeling that the ones who will need to lead this transition will be the unemployed, the disabled, the homeless, the retired, the marginalised for whatever reason, the mentally ill, the women, because, though they generally have little money, they have the time. And I was forgetting the children, who have so much energy, and time.

This new union we have been talking about setting up, (Gaia?) should also include children, they need to have a voice, and they need to know how valuable their contribution can be. I hope we can talk about this at the Sheffield Occupy conf. 21/22 Jan 2012. everyone welcome
