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?

Education for peace

My prayer for this month is that children in the world receive the education needed to empower him/her to develop their best potential.   It is through education that we will understand each other better so that we can end war making and create a society of peace.
If you share this prayer, please distribute it, in your own words, together with your own thoughts on it, through your social media.
May this prayer grow and live.

A visualization to change the world:

 Visualize that all children receive an education that will empower them to develop their best abilities.   Do this visualization regularly as there are so many children that are not receiving the right education education to meet their individual needs.   Please pass this message on.

Responsible Citizenship

Educate the communities on how to appreciate joint recreational and educational facilities.
Too much money is wasted on trying to uplift communities without pre-education, supervision and maintenance. The community can be motivated to become proud, responsible citizens.

Everybody have cell phones. It is easy to teach people how to report irregularities. It is easy to send an SMS with the registration of a vehicle that violates the community rights. Teach people how to video a criminal activity or suspicious person and send it to the local police station. SMS messages to the police or emergency services should be free for registered cell phone users.
The police should have a big enough database to store these observations for a number of years.

If a soccer field looks like a wasteland, then the community will use it as such.

Where there is community pride and responsibility, there will be less crime.

Sporting activities are one way to engender pride among local citizens.
A community hall where educational and informative meetings and activities for the jobless can be conducted should be built in every community. Build vandal-proof structures if possible and employ all rounder watchmen who can also be cleaners and maintenance workers.

Our leaders are receiving too high salaries it should be sliced to provide community infrastructures. When the difference between top wage earners and bottom wage earners (and pensioners) are more than 15,000% (R1, 500,000+ and R1, 000-) there is something rotten in a society.

Do not go forward looking backward

• The Search for new ways is the most imperative problem.

• Due to the unusualness of conditions of the future, it will be impossible to proceed by the old ways.

• All new ones must remember this. It is the worst thing when men do not know how to escape from the old rut. It is dreadful when people approach new conditions with their old habits.

• Just as it is impossible to open a present-day lock with a medieval key, likewise it is impossible for men with old habits to unlock the door to the future.

• Today it did not succeed in order that tomorrow it may blossom more beautifully.

What is your global peace wish for 11-11-11?

What is your global peace wish for 11-11-11?
I know my motto is unity, but I realize that we cannot strive towards unity before we feel good about ourselves as people.

Emotionally scarred individuals are by nature self centered. So my 11-11-11 wish is that all children in the world receives the kind of emotional and educational support that will make them the best people they can be and also become proud patriotic citizens.
Only then can we strive towards unity – when we have leaders and political parties that stand together as one united body, supporting the larger cause in spite of their personality clashes.

While our politicians fight among each other, we can never have a unity government and we can never be patriotic. You cannot be patriotic to a split ideal. You cannot be patriotic to something that is weak and splits within governments waken it and in turn splits the nation.

A country that has policies that will lead to racial suppression can never be united. Before you can be united as one humanity, you need to be able to be patriotic to your nation.

Our children are our future. If we can heal those elements in our society that emotionally scar our children then we can strive towards global peace and unity.


For now: lets fight poverty, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, poor educational facilities and unqualified, emotionally scarred teachers.

Remember you have four chances to align to a global society for your world peace wish:
“11 am and 11 pm local time and then 11am and 11 pm GMT”.


Lets do our bit towards making this world a better place.


For people who do not know how to do a distance prayer alignment, it is easy. Just align (think) your highest and your best state of being then imagine you are in a space where everybody else, who are of the same thought as you, gather and continue as if you are directing the prayer session. Good luck with your first global prayer alignment. These opportunities when people all over the world gather in united prayer are rare. You are privileged to be able to do it today.

The days of just transferring money for charity from one bank account to another without any controls or supervision should be long gone

Most countries, if managed with poverty relief as the priority, can afford to feed and house their all citizens.

Before financial aid or loans are given to any country an audit should be done on government spending, financial sharing and other finance generating operations.

Why are finances being trapped within the spending reach of a few citizens while the majority starves, in so many developing countries? The answer is greed, power hunger, war or poor finance management.

Governments should put the need of the majority first and foremost, only then should they feed their greed and hunger for power. If they miss out on a few overseas trips, – so what? They can utilize video conferencing technology if need be.

A debate or conference on how to govern holistically should precede any financial aid initiative. The days of just transferring money for charity from one bank account to another without any controls or supervision should be long gone. We know that most of it goes into wages, talks and discussions, planning and expensive business trips while very little is spent on the implementation of the project.

Using some of the donated funds to employ an auditor and overseer will have a more positive effect on the poverty relief effort. Some developing countries may need training towards financial maturity.

Is it fair of any country that spend trillions on the comforts of the leaders, or on buying weapons of war, to expect financial aid from developed nations?

Educaton for all

This year’s G20, taking place in November in Cannes, France and led by President Sarkozy, represents a real opportunity to make an impact on developing countries through the creation of the Financial Transaction Tax.

Humanity needs more soul

Poverty will disappear when the poverty of soul is no longer a major issue in humanity.

While humanity remains greedy and self centered, there will be hoarding of assets by individuals and nations which will affect the distribution of wealth in the world.

All who are less influential will suffer. That does not only include those who are vulnerable in the society like the less intelligent, children and old people but it extends to other areas of existence as well. Greed and self centeredness have a draining effect and negative impact on the animal kingdom and on nature and global warming.

Ex unitate vires

We are all part of one Humanity just like each grain of sand makes out the beach. If each grain of sand acted as an individual entity, the beach would be like dust in the wind.

If every thinking person contemplates solutions instead of being driven to fear and inertia because of the enormity of the world’s problems, we can together, change the world.

It is said that you become what you think. If all thinking people strive towards peace and right human conditions we can save the world because over 50% of the world’s population are not thinkers, they are followers. They will adopt any strong thought wave that will make their lives better.
Together we can create a new reality.

Temporary displaced minoity groups

It has come to my notice how many white people are becoming homeless. They feel especially vulnerable while some militant factions in the society are singing racial hate-songs like “Kill the Boer”. New immigrants are also feeling unsafe with the latest xenophobic violence in the townships.

When we try to find someone to help these people we are told, “They fall outside our area and the shelters are overflowing". There is just no immediate help for them.

We have many open fields that cannot be regarded as nature areas because it requires lawn mowing and maintenance.

We can fence these off and utilize it for the need of the displaced people as temporary transit camps to house minority groups that will find it difficult to adjust to a squatter camp society.

There can be a rule that tents would be allowed but no permanent structures.
We know that once a structure is erected it develops into a permanent settlement that just grows out of all proportion and we are faced with the residential laws that will make relocation difficult.

By supplying a transit place for displaced people, where they can camp in safety, until the social welfare department can place them; it will deter them from joining crime syndicates or prostitute gangs in order to survive. It will also be easier or the police, welfare organizations, volunteers, soup kitchens and medical personnel to keep an eye on them.

The local churches can also become involved and the newspapers can run articles relating to the need. It will take a lot of pressure off the short staffed police force and the welfare departments.

The welfare departments are divided into areas; therefore I suggest that every welfare area have one of these camps. It will not cost much to maintain because one of the rules can be that the settlers keep the place clean and help with the maintenance and plant a camp garden that can supply fresh food for them. It will be easier to assess the problem when the homeless are all at one location.

A second hand goods shop staffed by volunteers and residents can pay for the municipal services.

These camps can be erected immediately, since they are not permanent structures and in the meantime public debate can brainstorm a permanent solution to the problem.

The need is becoming more urgent as the economic crises worsen. We are loosing the battle against time and crime.
