If you could do anything...
Nov. 15th, 2008 02:04 amIs moon as beautiful there as it is here?
I'm planning to go to the World Social Forum in Belém, in January. It's an incredible opportunity to gather a group of similarly motivated people to help me help the world.
If you could do anything to make the world a better place for 6 months, what would you do?
Say you have at least four other people working with you, containing any skills you might want, and that you don't need to earn money-- in fact, you can work 20 hours a week from anywhere and have $2000 a month to support something more expensive. What would you do?
At the Forum, I'll carry around a colorful cardboard sign, to attract people to my projects. On one side, I'll advertise for people to join me in buying a sustainable bus, like BioTour, to travel around South America in. But the other side? Who knows. Maybe I'll make the bus a mobile medical center. Maybe I'll start a new web 2.0 project to make it natural to live green. Maybe I'll start a learning/teaching/community and craft center. I need more ideas!
The project doesn't need to fit in with my sustainable bus plan, but it'd be nice. It also doesn't need to involve me leaving Brazil for the 6 months before I can get another visa, and then return here-- but that'd be ideal.
