Blog year2008 in october is about ending poverty http://events.takingitglobal.org/20255 so we hope this week's syndication to 100 blogs will exponentialise to tens of thousands of blogs by then, with a little help from friends like you

sustainability club http://sustainabilityclub.com

social business club http://www.socialbusinessclub.net

collaboration cafe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9nL_a0K97I

yunus 10000 http://yunus10000.com collaboration coordinators for youth dialogues in that city and between cities together with invitations to action specific to each video good news story - eg if you want microcredit to beat off big banks why not help any school try out micro credit with the world's simplest program small change, big changes - a microloanfoundation franchise

Peers across hemispheres and I are far more interested in ensuring that each of these intercity movements vetoes any uses of 20th c failing system methods that the majority of club coordinators -or where elected an honorary board - vote against, than prescribing revenue models.

OPEN SOURCING THE CLUBS
Obviously we should want coordinators to make a living out of work input whlst at the same time recognising that being a club coordinator is probably worth more than having many a professional qualification - or needs to become so if this world is to be sustainable. Equally where profits are repeatedly generated I assume we can find a way iof agreeing some sliding scale that should be contributed either to your favourite grassroots organsiation in bangladesh or to a small list of other potential grassroots partners of future capitalism which should probably need at least 75 of members refendum to confirm

I am very happy if people will negotiate what other rules they would need to want to participate as well as to clarify where they want diferent contant at the mother webs. The main web system I use costs $35 a year per web so its not difficult to imagine that major cties will also want to set up their own branch web or of course a free blog - either of which we will happily linmk from the top of the mother web.

Obviously some of our constitution needs double checking with for example the 100000 bangladeshi's and other Gandhians who are the main practical exemplar of the values we seek to network worldwide so that the future sustains 7 billion brilliant jobs and goodwill multiplying across all women, children and even men.

We wish to learn from each city's most successful ways of mobilising and cross-cultural celebration, as well as metods for ensuring that any action network actually reaches to those in most desperate need of its service. This is one of the big lessons of bangladeshi experience -reiterated by every micro-system designer in bangladesh we have interviewed - once a networks starts empowering the entrepreneur inside it will never get deeper than the deepest needsholders it begins with. This is a lesson that many global NGOs seem never to have begun to grade.

This has been posted by a member of hyderabad? How can we help him? Does your city have the same problem? How can all world citizens with the same problem help each other

our city of hyderabad what is happening is we are working towards forgetting that we are human beings.
We were a peaceful city & say large happy family till 1980's - systematically life is now is understood holding a cell phone,riding bikes & cars on a busy road with few flyovers built to ease the traffic & few on the way of completion - roads widened or getting widened by destroying memories of - particular tea stall or paper store or vegetable points.
In the midst of all these lands are taken over ( which otherwise fertile) replaced by concrete structures for a price - where the vegetables growing or rice/wheat will not yield the price what they got - a life time yield.
Friends, life is no more understood as an opportunity given to survive & serve & to see that generation ahead enjoys what we are able to, today.
Lot's of insecure acts causing the damage and needed intervention today is withhold what is good, reinforce habits & lifestyle which would protect tomorrow.
Values we uphold which we imbibed by our elders & the family we represent & the teachers & books, will be the foundation for better tomorrow.
