Last week I conducted a workshop with a 100 – 8 year olds, they were in grade 3 and visiting the Peace Truth Ahimsa Museum on Mahatma Gandhi. I asked them to pay for a snack and beverage with money that THEY WOULD CREATE. I also informed them that the money collected if in excess of the costs would be used to help economically challenged children.
Paper, pens and pencils were provided and 15 minutes later I had a stack of money that was created by these 8 year olds.
The total sum collected – Rs 8.2 crores
Less cost of snack & beverage – Rs 2200/-
Funding available to help economically challenged children: Rs 8,19,97,800/-
The future of our world is bright!!! The girls were empowered and then asked to use that power to CAUSE CHANGE ….. They came out miles ahead of any person that today possess that power.
More power to the girls and the youth of this country.
