“It’s not just throwing money at the problem. The idea is to ensure that the standards are respectful of the customs and traditions of the community.” Desmond Tutu

One of my favorite organization is The elders, and I just read an article “Desmond Tutu campaigns to end child marriage.” http://www.theelders.org/article/tutu-promotes-campaign-end-child-marriage

After reading this article, I cannot stop thinking about the way in which we can tap into the valuable resources that elders in the world can offer to be a part of the solution of this problem. We have enough elders with wisdom and experience who can mentor young individual. Although one can only make a small contribution, the sum of elders in the world can be large enough to make a social impact.

What can Ibasho do to connect these dots…. am pondering.
