Proposed solutions to vandalism.

In some communities up to 30% of children may have been affected by pre-natal alcohol syndrome.   This may account for the violent and senseless destruction of public property during strike action.    They simply do not understand that by burning down a school or a bus inconveniences their own family and friends.

They harm the community more than the ones they are blaming.

Special education is needed for children and adults with learning challenges.

BABY 2000 IS EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD

I was reminded of a group prayer that was sent out eighteen  years ago.

Perhaps the student unrest  may still make it happen.

Here is a copy of the the post on a website that no longer exists.   It was also titled HEAL AFRICA (It has no connection with the current website that uses that name today)

The prayer is that all children born after 2000 has the ability to receive the kind of education that will empower them to develop their own unique skills and become leaders in their own special fields.

That the education system honor each child’s uniqueness.

This is how to join:

(Link up (in your mind's eye)  to the prayer group  at 6 p.m. daily - or at any other time that suits you)

Become aware of the love within your heart, and within your "minds-eye" (imagine) see a group of people of goodwill from all over the world

.

Feel yourself to be one of them. Their identities do not matter.

Now in your minds eye see how each child who enters school in the new millennium receives an education that will encourage the development of his/her own special skills so that she/he can grow into a loving worthy adult and become a leader in his/her own special unique field.

Ask that it is done

Amen.

Our children are the leaders of tomorrow. It is in their hands that the future of Our Country will rest. Let's all join together in daily prayer.

IMMUNIZE CHILDREN AGAINST DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE

SUBSTANCE ABUSE IMMUNIZATION.

EMPOWER ALL CHILDREN TO USE THEIR RIGHT TO SAY NO TO DRUGS

Immunize children against drug and alcohol abuse, with early education to give them the tools to say no to substances that overshadow their thinking ability.

Whenever there is an outbreak of any life-threatening disease, we are quick to develop drugs to immunize us against it spreading, but we seem to remain powerless against to increasing drug addictions in schools.

DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE DESTROY MORE LIVES THAN ANY DISEASE OR WAR IN HISTORY.

Drug and alcohol abuse destroys more lives than any disease or war in history, yet we do little to immunize the minds of our youth against addiction to foreign substances.

We can prevent people falling into the drug-trap by teaching little children about the side effects and control that addictive substance has over our lives.

THE WORLD NEEDS A GENERATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE IN FULL CONTROL OF THEIR THINKING ABILITIES AT ALL TIMES

The ability to ‘say no to drugs’ must be established in the consciousness of children long before they are subjected to it. Drug immunity education should begin at kindergarten and continue throughout their school life. It should be presented to the children by means of age related film, art and discussion.

Halfway through every television program there should be one free self empowerment advertisement. This should form part of the licence for a television company to operate in South Africa.

Our aim should be to create a generation of responsible young people who will be in full control of their mental capacities at all times.

ALCOHOL AND DRUGS ACT LIKE FOREIGN CONTROLLING ENTITIES.

It should be understood that someone who abuse alcohol or drugs, literally lends the control of his/her thinking ability to a stranger. - The drug or alcohol.

IF ONE IS NOT IN CHARGE OF ONES LIFE, SOMEONE OR SOMETHING ELSE IS

Taking drugs or alcohol is like lending ones most precious possession, ones brain power, to a stranger. Why trust a drug or any foreign substance willingly with ones actions.

Being ‘blind drunk’ could be viewed as a temporary form of suicide or coma.

Many people never fully recover from a coma.

People may undergo a change in personality, when the substance is in charge of their brains. Some people like the escape from reality. They like the temporary confidence that the new drug is giving.

Eventually the crash comes.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE CAUSES A DEADENING OF THE MIND EMOTIONS RESULTING IN DISEASE AND DESTRUCTION OF EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD.

The body and emotions can take only so much abuse, and as time goes by the nervous system ceases to respond to logic and emotional stimuli. Other bodily organs may also fail and the person may find that he/she may be on the wrong side of the law, worse still – in jail with the only excuse that ‘It was not me who did that’

The fact is that it is you because when you lend your vehicle to a stranger, you should be responsible for traffic fines.

Your body is a vehicle driven by your intellect (your natural computer).

Say no to drugs and alcohol from the start. That "feeling" it gives you is the secret code that will imprison you. It infiltrates your desires and you decision making ability of your brain in the same way as a virus infects a computer. Before it crashes, there are signs of changed or diminished responsibility.

THE CRASH IS NEAR

Perhaps your parents became upset by your behavior. Perhaps they may even have said "I don't know you any more” When that happens, you have sold your sole to a stranger and all you will get in return are some memories of feeling in charge and having a good time. Soon, it may even feel better to sell your sole to drugs, because the real self may have more problems than it can cope with.

If you took drugs willingly, you are not the victim. You need to pay the price for your actions.

You wasted a God-given life and possibly the lives of other.

ENERGY ANATOMY

The new anatomy describes an ‘invisible’ magnetic protection layer or health aura ‘my space’ around the body.

One can experience an invasion of the ‘my space’ when someone stands too close. In ‘my space’.

Narcotic substances can create permanent weak spots or tears in the ‘my space’ magnetic protective aura.

This can lead to the possession or invasion of entities, insanity or disease.

Some alternative practices use drugs to loosen the consciousness from the confinement of the brain – going on trips. This remains a dangerous practice. Even under controlled circumstances.

Life is short enough; I cannot understand why people force themselves to experience other existences when they should be focusing on their reason for incarnating on this earth.

Who is going to teach the teachers how to teach?

 Will teachers be taught how to teach?

A child’s education should provide him with the tools to overcome poverty as well as how to be a wise financial manager.
 Education should teach the history of minority groups and foster patriotism and pride for his heritage.
 Education should bring out the best in every child.

There are some questions that requires answers: 

Can teachers whose main interest is to earn a salary at the end of the month and who regard teaching as a battle to survive from one payday to the next do that?
Who is going to teach the teachers how to teach?
 How do one get rid of the deadwood within our education departments, how does one fill the gap when they leave?

Educational needs in South Africa and other third world countries

The pavement baby

The baby in the photograph, (R), was born on the streets. His parents have no home and is living on the pavement in a Cape Town suburb.

If this baby survives to grow to school going age; what will his chances be of receiving the kind of education that will empower him to become the best he can be; or at least learn right from wrong?

3 Thoughts on how to meet the educational need

Strike while the iron is hot!

While the television broadcasting corporation in South Africa is under scrutiny, it may be the right time to take responsibility the role television to can play in educating and guiding a nation.

What is regularly shown on television may have a long-term impact on the minds of the viewers.

“What we view on television today becomes our reality of tomorrow”

The power of audiovisual stimuli should never be underestimated; it can make or break a nation.

Television could be utilized to close a gap in education for both adults and children.

Taking responsibility, for the quality of programs to be offered to the public, need not break the budget.

There are many volunteers who will volunteer their service for little more than gratitude -- Volunteers who will welcome a chance to make a difference.

Free training and VBEE (Volunteer Broad-spectrum Economic Empowerment) points which could be cashed in for *government favors. (Like VBEE points in the piggy bank)

We could start moving away from financial rewards for all jobs done.


People no longer need to travel to capital cities and stay over in expensive hotels to conference, or having the inconvenience of leaving their home towns.

Conferencing can take place in 'virtual conference settings' using computerized electronic media.

Volunteers can overview what is being offered, to the public, on the television screens. A team of psychologists, elders and other experts can determine the effect the viewing will have on the nation.

They can be trained and provided with the necessary computer equipment to attend virtual meetings or conferences.

Electronic conferencing can be launched from local libraries if the volunteers are unable to participate due to insecure living conditions or computer-illiteracy.

There are many ways to get the elders and other experts from all over the world together to nation-build.

Local librarians and teachers can be trained to help the volunteers with this task. It could be considered their duty to nation-build without expecting remuneration.

A VBEE piggy-bank system can here also be implemented to be used as bargaining points for promotion.

Africans can help other Africans to become proudly African again. They can learn to respect themselves and others again. We have so many damaged people in the country and on the continent.

People are damaged because of their past experiences as freedom fighters, child soldiers, poverty, drugs, immorality, illiteracy and violence. They need to learn what is normal and what thoughts are healthy and what is destructive to them and their environment.

We need to heal in order to respect and honor again.
We need to reach out to fill education gaps when a system breaks down or is not yet in place.

Television can become a powerful nation-building tool.

A few local soaps with a morale building script, instead of one that is based on divorce, back stabbing, murder and cheating can provide a great influence on the minds of the viewers.

People follow the examples of their idols.

We need to create heroes with a high code of ethics -- Heroes who are nation-builders.

----------------------------------

* VBEE points could be given to people who make a difference without receiving financial rewards for their service.

Suggestions of how volunteers can be remunerated by using VBEE points (Volunteer Broad-based Economic Empowerment) points

VBEE points could be like money in a bank and could be electronically loaded onto a debit card.
VBEE points could be used to increase one’s VIP status.
VBEE points count towards job promotions.
VBEE currency could buy a percentage of their rates and taxes.
VBEE points could buy entry to government and municipal facilities like museums and reserves.
Etc.

immature afrcan goverments

Many African politicians rule their governments like children playing a game of Monopoly

Children with guns

Perhaps Robert Mugabe is a great old man, but has been going senile steadily for a long time. Like so many other old people, he reverted back to his childhood as a freedom fighter. In his mind he really believes that Great Britain is the enemy. He may come over as an honest man with great integrity, which he is, except for the senility, which makes him relive the past.

It is also possible that children with guns, are running Zimbabwe.

That may account for the discrepancies of what happens in Zimbabwe, and what Mr. Mugabe reveals to the international community.

Is Mr. Mugabe the mascot and a front for the child army and their terror campaign?

Just think about it, it is possible.

No election in Zimbabwe can be fair after the torturing and killing many of the opposition.

Many of people not cast their votes in the next election in fear of retaliation.
