7 universities join in first yunus inspired competition in dc-va-md triangle

[chris macrae]

Rural USA Youth and Yunus Competiions -typical cases- winners from OR  NC  AL  GA

Future Capital Competitions When Muhammad Yunus tried to invite universities within driving reach of washington dc to come and celebrate their students greatest ideas for a day - you might have expected the joy of some of the nation's smartest youth converging 3 social solution directions :

international brave ideas of changing the sustainability of farming and schools across the nation of Zambia ; helping ceos remodel triple value multiplying futures; the most economical car pooling portal for students

national -brilliant execution-plan of web portal for sustainable tourism to native American destinations; brilliant negative carbon innovation for energy needs of rural homes

dc capital (though no team turned up with this focus this year- we love the mayors office promise that teams with a brilliant idea needing tech support can expect mentoring help from living social)

well the good news of the inaugural competition is the quality per project was at an all time high - the bad news, most universities refused to join in this inaugural event because they preferred boxing bheir students into their own campus

well done to university of district of Columbia as master host especially chief organizer Sylvia Benatti'

and the 7 universities who dared to field a team -Co-partner universities, American University, University of Maryland main campus and easter shore), Salisbury University, Shenandoah University, Howard University, and student fro GWU

-looking forward to next year!!!

hi ken and anna and dc Youth Collaboration Entrepreneur Hosts

 

I met anna at tri-state student entrepreneur competition inspired by muhammad yunus on saturday and masterminded by Sylvia Benatti and the University of District of Columbia ; I recalled that personally -in 7 years of circulating 2000 books and 10000 dvds of yunus -  I have only met one person as involved with representing economic sustainability of native americans namely Ken

 

You have different approaches- and Anna currently at GWU would probably be the first to admit that her sustainability tourism to native american destination portal is just starting up her lifes passion (serving indigeneous people with her particular skill sets) and intended work, while Ken has entrepreneurially helped native americans market some very big businesses and redesign value chains to sustain their interests

but i am hopeful there may be a positive connection between you -tell me if there is anything else I can say, do (anna if you have an electronic copy of your presentation that you would like to pass round please send it)

my next year at Norman Macrae Foundation for Pro-Youth Economics is being spent as much as possible helping educators survey what 12 minute training modules millions of youth want circulated online and free - a module on native american issues would be interesting if people like you helped shape its actionable content

sincerely

I also cc

sylvia as our host on saturday

alex simon until recently an uber networker of sustainability students out of GWU who will also likely know any relevant who's who across DC students; brian weinberg another graduate uber-student who currently tracks sustainability investment portfolio out of bethesda and towards south america - anna's roots make her passionate about indigenous peoples in s. america too (Bolivia being a case in point)

professor bhuiyan, dr yunus great friend and compatriot,  who has been connecting student competitions across more than hundred historically black colleges for 12 years now and hosts his annual event out of Atlanta at end of this week april 18-20, 2013 www.ofcvc.org

anna when I look at what motivates students most from yunus stateswide competitions- new curriculum of nutrition and food security are the number 1 demand and sb social solutions pitched

 

do tell me if at some future stage nutrition is a story your portal on sustainable tourism around native americans can linkin with - I recall that when Jamie Oliver did his PBS tour of usa he stopped off with the Navejo Indian in Arizona for at least 30 minutes of tv broadcasting - here's a reference to that http://www.jamieoliver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=675862

 

Jamie Oliver is arguably youth's favorite diet entrepreneur having made school meals his issue first in UK then US - school meals are exactly the sort of open source franchise that yunus youth networks love to remedy something John Mackey Yunus number 1 corporate supporter in US has picked up on at www.wholekidsfoundation.org

can I throw some yunus and youth wishes into the melting point

 

1a -since Thursday yunus has confirmed (skoll world championships 30 second yunus video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ome28Obiy4I   ) that his main goal is to free 12 minute training modules that millions of youth most need to interact free and online -

 

ib can you all edit one on nutrition? - nutrition and nursing are areas he already has a world lead on since he has a physical free nursing college in Dhaka with a 3 year curriculum and global social business is identified with nutrition and freeing nurses to be 21st c most trusted information and service networkers -mostofa is Dhaka based and can carry any messages to yunus as part of his survey of what 12 minute trainings do millions of youth most want online first- we can all put commitments up at http://www.socialbusiness.tv/ the only social business web not owned by a Californian who wants a million dollars for the name

 

sadly the word is that democracy in bangladesh is likely to be closed down at year end- this makes it more vital than ever that yunus trusts youth in the world's leading future capitals to replicate his community power of service long after he's inactive-

 

Sylvia, I and others (monica yunus when I next chat to her) have a map of how to make sure DC becomes his favorite co-editor of million youth curriculum which only works if states like your edit in what your youth are most passionate about action networking and while Obama is around to celebrate such

 

as Sylvia always tells me your ideas are above our individual paygrades - to which I respond they are all our and youths paygrades, and professionally I have been working with global brand ceos most exciting visions for 25 years now- following my dad's whole life mediating biggest decisions makers and futures youth most wanted to collaborate around

 

 questions welcome if anything above doesn't seem doable now
