http://www.ted.com In Rajasthan, India, an extraordinary school teaches rural women and men -- many of them illiterate -- to become solar engineers, artisans, dentists and doctors in their own villages. It's called the Barefoot College, and its founder, Bunker Roy, explains how it works.

TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate.

    You stutter! LOL. I do too. This man demonstrated the power of love by drawing out and putting to work all the natural talents of all the participants. This is what makes the world what it is. NOT MONEY or the BANKING SYSTEM. People working together to preserve life and understand one another.

    This is a demonstration of the goodness of humanity which lies in abundance within each one of us. All we have to do is look within and realise our true potential to enrich the world we live in and share with all beings and things.

    God bless Mr. Bunker Roy and many others like him that inspire us
