"In the loop!" to create "bottom up" solutions











Note that as of today my best e-mail is now Goals2025@ gmail.com
Visit: Plaxo.com and find my site: under Richard Lewis.
As you know the draft web site is no longer in place but hold the domain names for
both: nationalyouthunion.org
grupoamistad.org
Using plaxo as a social networking tool....check out and join the business network.
It's but a seed and with your participation may this vision end with peace and social
justice flowing from large numbers of "King/Chavez Legacy Teams" to whom see a
possibility in our simple proposed idea of a series of "community conversations" to
be held in January, February, and March leading up to national and international day
of service in April....the task to so build a team and ongoing process to build local
positive youth development projects from the bottom up.

Call anytime to so "brainstorm" this vision/work.

My blog will be like the task to so eat an elephant and that but one bite at a time.

This blog from Richard Lewis will speak to
a intent to so express and invite those like yourself
to join in the design and development of what is called: The Grupo Amistad Vision.

Ongoing telephone calls and action steps are
in place to so create a international service learning initiative....."Peso's in the pocket! teach youth to learn to earn".

Creating healthy communities will take a process....and that of what is called Vision Cafes. If you so google you will see Lot's of example's......in the past in Santa Cruz County in the city of Watsonville, under the ROP County Office of Education was a
example of what our Nation's Workforce Development Boards could produce. Will
so share the idea of what others will need to create: Good Food, and great coffee, a
hub for youth developers of the proposed "Youth Power!" initiative with by design the
office space and open 365 days a year for residents to so support that "bottom Up" local strategy and also learn of the ongoing next steps and process.

If you google Obama Surprise Visit....you will see that key idea to which he spoke:
speaking of a solution....keep it simple and don't build from the top down but the bottom up. What would that look like if the legacies of the great non violent and the
"Carry the Vision" event held in San Jose, California sourced the intent to so create
health communities even if but one at a time?
www.carrythevision.org
As this December 8th at Santa Clara University a event will take place you may like myself want to so attend.

A last request would for you to share with your network a White House Initiative of
value and if the next President so continues with a Executive Order my choice to so
establish a public domain: "Peso's In The Pocket" international initiative.
www.yesican.gov
This will so give you a opportunity to so join over 400 partners to whom seek to so
find solution to the realities and gaps within the Hispanic White House Initiative started back in 1990 by former President Bush.
The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence For Hispanic Americans
(you can get your copy of the report: A summary of activities, Accomplishments
and Hispanic Educational Attainment 2001-08.....call: 1-877-4ed=pubs with id #
