Covington Thu, 29 Oct 2009 01:02:43 +0000 http://www.one.org/blog/?p=10089#comment-565878 Today I met with a group of professionals at Washington University in St. Louis to talk about an idea I have to take poverty stricken areas in the 21st century with free etextbooks loaded onto laptops as a business idea. Part of the idea is based on bookbags being a health problem for children because of the weight. I am looking for a contact person I can relate with to accomplish this task quickly once I get the business up and running. I have been envolved with ONE just for a few short months. My state of Missouri loves my concept ideas and is willing give me equal front matching money within Missouri to help in this respect if I can find a public school interested. I am talking to one at the present. Many business people have not helped me because I am social minded and will give the etextbooks away free to areas that don't have the money for the books. I am working on the ideas anyway and it may take a bit but I will get there. I know my St. Louis city schools are in trouble, not only money but accredidation. If a big metropolitan city like this is in trouble, I'm sure the textbooks or non exsisting school books in general are a much bigger problem than I can even imagine. Like watching the topics of illness and global health problems the education of the poor is the only way to get them out of the poverty driven way of life that has been engrained in their culture. To inspire is to create. To create if divine. But knowledge and inspire and create divine thoughts into accomplishments to help the world not only survive but live in wealth and peace. Let me know if anyone has a contact person that could help me in that respect to helping with free etextbooks in poverty stricken areas as I only know of the ones in my neighborhoods in St. Louis. I would like to see the ebooks given to any person or school who would need them. Once I get up and running it will bring a smile to me and to the children of the world to inspire them and know that they can make a difference. My mother used to say to me, "You can be anything you want to, just get a book and read about it, then put the words into action". Now I haven't been to college, but I have been working hard on ideas to hep others, maybe she didn't know that I can do that too. One small person with great ideas trying to make a difference. If enough people know the idea then they can pass it along and use it as well. Have a wonderful day and I look forward to any comments to help in this regard.
