The Silent Cry
Dear World, Dear People
In silence do I cry
My hopes are mute
And my dreams are flowing by the streams unrealized

Camped by the land of silence
I became an Islander of sorrow
Enslaved by my future tomorrow
I ask: Who will be there for me???
I envisioned a better tomorrow

If only today's world could mentor me
I will reach there... I will be there
And I shall be a somebody from a nobody
Yes! I do believe

As the Heavenly clouds smile broadly
And walk over our eyes
We will be moved to show care
What I have I will share with the less privileged
Thereby speaking the language of LOVE.

Now is the most important time in history to stand up and be counted as stewards of this planet. YOUR VOICE ... YOUR CHOICE!!

It is our responsibility as parents, teachers and leaders to fix the mess that we’ve left your generation with regard to the environment, gender and racial injustices, war and more.

After the video contest winners are announced on April 22nd 2009 we will enter into a 4-month online classroom curriculum where you will have the chance to get to know one another through the online community as well as be mentored by some of the most forward-thinking experts on the planet in the 5 AREAS OF INTEREST: Economic Development, Environment, Literacy, Social Change, and Creative Expression. 

At the beginning of each month, we will have a general session with a world leader that will be open to the young leaders council and the young leaders network. This in  an opportunity for you engage at a global level on these critical issues.

Each video conference for every week thereafter will include curriculum given to the Young Leaders in the specific 5 categories. For example, Sebastain Copeland (expert photographer/environmental activist) will speak directly to the young leaders in the category of Environment.

The four month sessions will end just prior to the Young Leaders Global Summit.
