Love

I also believe the most innovative acts are ones built over a foundation of  love  (the Kiva.org is a powerful example)...
Guster announced the winner of  their video contest for "Bad Bad World"...

Bad Bad World from Guster on Vimeo.

Real change can only be accomplished out of acts like these. Reminds me of the Harlem Children Zone's attempt to get 6th graders back on a track in school...trying to reverse the effects of years of poor schooling. It seemed everything the teachers would so was failing...end every was exhausted from trying to change these kids. The author Paul Tough, sited a study where the only visible change that could be seen with the students farthest behind happened during one on one tutoring.

Which makes me think of this really cool Tutoring center...(need to leave now - will post later)
