!! YL meets Venkat Reddy (3) @ UNESCO DESD World Conference 2009, Bonn , Germany

Part 3:
Asked about a special memory of the organisation's endeavour, Venkat Reddy tells us the story of Prasad, a young boy he met several times during different stages of his life.

Eric meets Venkat Reddy of M. Venkatarangaiya Foundation (India) during lunch break. Venkat Reddy has a MUST-HEAR story to tell about CHILD LABOUR and their work in liberating children to go to school, succeed, evolve and return to their villages to liberate more children. Their program is now spreading to other indian states. MASSIVE POSITIVE CHANGE! http://mvfindia.com

Tak this story to heart, and take some time to think about general attitude's, opinions, institutional practicies concerning "disadvantaged children & their learning capacities, education, professional and social careers". In this regard, the G8, and basically the entire world are "failing states". This is about YOU, your life, your potentials, and the life and (diminished) potentials of the children, students, pupils and parents, teachers and decision-makers and media around you. CHANGING THE WORLD begins with a profound change of world-view. This example is ... a special one. ENJOY!
