Speaking of Spirit

At the beginning of September, I put up on my Facebook page a call to pray for schools, teachers and students around the world.  Some wonderful things have happened.   Harvard University launched Online Classes for students anywhere.  In Philadelphia, students at-risk learn life lessons through horseback riding.  Northern Ireland students make a 100 ft. bridge from Meccano   Outernet, a small company out of Chicago , is making access to knowledge world-wide for even the world's poorest and most remote countries.  This is just a few of the stories that show how knowledge is being shared to create a better world.  If you hear of more, please post your news in the comments so that we can share how our prayers, intentions, meditations and good thoughts have rippled out to bring Peace and Love to the world. Namast é! #GlobalGoals #QualityEducation 

World Leaders came together recently to re-evaluate the Global Goals set a few years back.  They agreed on 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development.   Here is a video with a little background:   One of the initiatives to get this news out to everyone and to inspire everyone to support the goals in the #PrayerforEveryone Campaign. Prayer for Everyone asks faith leaders to share the 17 goals with their congregations. In addition, educators are being asked to joint The World's Largest Lesson were they will find lesson plans, media and other resources to help students of all ages understand the importance of these goals. Teaching #GlobalGoals helps create ripples of change that will encompass the world! Please join me in spreading the news about the Global Goals for Sustainable Development.  Together, we CAN make a difference!
