Message body
I am writing specifically to the 6 of you to see if you can chat and connect win-wins between what you most urgently want to work on and empower youth to sustain the world. There are many others you know i could have added but thought we should start somewhere. As i assume you know biodiversity netwotrking is the most extreme test of whether we will design sufficient collaboration in time for nature (or will we be her next dodo). Friend and astronaut Ron Garan has this to say universityofstarsgaran
These are the things that you have told me about (please edit any errors or omissions that might be relevant to deciding if you can urgently help each other)
1 Rosalia is former president of ecuador- the country which includes Darwin's famed Galapagos Isles that inspired Theory of Evolution
She is concerned with changing her nations schools and teaching and youths jobs
She is helping host UNhabitat year 1 review of sustainability goal 11 - sustainable cities and communities -Quito 17-20 October 2016
She and I met at MIT legatum event hosted by iqbal quadir - the guy who started village phone networks in 1966 with yunus and soros and women4empowerment naila and telenor, and whose brother kamal quadfir has just helped brac in bangaldesh build the number 1 cashless bank in the devlopng world. In 2012 at Japan Embassy in Bangaldesh , two remembrance parties to my father were convened- the first guested by sir fazle abed of BRAC, the second by Kamal of Brac's Bkash
I believe rosalia has several connections with work going on in amazon rain forest
2 Mostofa is a bangladeshi villager who has rleadership quests to granmeen and brac over 10 years including 12 youth trips -www.yunus10000.com
In interview with muihhamd yunus in 2008 we found that at that tine he was a world leader in micro-solar - and winning prince charles and lord sainsbury's daughter grand prize of the year at Ashden Awards, sustainable and renewable energy in the UK and developing world in london
There we met paul rose the bbc nature correspondent for ocean diving and the north pole - and paul accomapnied us to yunus 69th birthday party. Ashden events are celebrated in the royal geographic society adjacent to Imperial College. That year michael palin (he of monty python and bbc world travel-cultural series) was head of RGS. Mostofa has some form of contact with palin. Palin's latest travels 3 years ago were all around Brazil
In my and colleagues opinions at www.worldclassbrands.tv : Bangladesh's first 45 years of independence has developed an extraordinary nation netwrked around communities energised by girl power and sustainability goals but its actually the global partnerships of sir fazle abed and brac that are what global youth of sustainability need to learn basic bottom up and open solutions with. Consequently Mostiofa and I invited two young chinese women to observe sir fazle abed's 80th birthday party a couple of months ago, and are arranging a belated brainstorming of global youths birthday wish-actions for sir fazle.
Bangladesh has just launched a national elearning platform with brac its main content producer- so its good that the quadir family and all of the best coders they can find linkin with brac
Mostofa nov 29 arranges for 100 of the most extreme sustainability youth to be celebrated in dubai which wants to be a crossroads for all of the most brilliant sustainable youth. Dubai host a pro-youth expo in 2020, and UAE has a big anniversary 2021
3 4 Yuxuan and Amy are the two young chinese ladies representing quarter a billion of under 30's chinese girls. My father always predicted that this population segment's peer to peer networks would be crucial to sustainability- half of the world's population lives on 1 per cent of the planet within 3000 miles of beijing
Yuxuan is a graduate of Tsingua the top university in china. Tsingua has a brookings partnership which instead of being run by an economist is run by a green energy leader. Yuxuan's range of projects as a pootgraduate are amazing - as felkow of wise education summit whose first laureate was sir fazle abed- in being asked to lead a rural china poverty alleviation project in the role of a village chieftain- in helping organise a pan afrucan summit out of Liberia- the country where BRAC is sponsored by George Soros.
Her friend amy has a passion for exploring. In this her first year outside of china, Costa Rica's jungle is her favorite of 5 countries she has visited: Dubai Mostofa, USA most of the time where she has interned with Sam Hancock founder of www.emerald-planet.tv UK , Bangladesh where with yuxuan and Mostofa she has met teh founding family of BRAC. Amy attended the launch of sustainability goal 11 at UN and special 80 persson action netwoirk lunch associated with that hosted by a new york lady who has been introducing youth to UN for 15 yeras now. Amy also know top people at the organisation of american states and one of her youth friends Maurice in Rome is the youth ambassador for vatican university inter-genetrational celebrations Premio Internazionale Giuseppe Sciacca (Rome is also secretariat of both nobel peace laureate summit and green club of rome that share the same offices and the UN's main netwirks concerned wuth goal 2 end hunger)- she also knows the billionaire latin american founders of the sustaniability fund wall street's ImperativeFund and is mentred out of new york by John Kiehl who owns a broadway studio where famous film directors finish off their soundtracks. Johns passion is linking young coders who can save the world
Two weeks ago amy was at world bank's summit uniting 400 youth in development partnerships
5 Khaiunnisa Ashari is another extraordinary young lady we met at the world bank youth event. She founded green brunei-
Head of International Relations, Brunei Youth Council | bruneiyouthcouncil.com
Green Xchange Director, Society for Community Outreach & Training | fightpovertywithus.org
part of her social enterprise model organises trips into the jungle to teach conversation and she has turned it into a sort of survivor reality competition too.
6 Sam Hancock founder of www.emeralp-planet.tv a cable tv station for the best in world green news where dozens of youth from around the wopld have interned in washington DC and where amy has interned for several months. He's a very kind memtor to her and various conscious capitalism youth networkers which amy has also helped to linkin from baltimore to washingtion dc. This region is served by 1776 hub which aims to linkin supercities of sustainability - its other emerging locations are brooklyn-new york, dubai and san frnacisco
