A Birthday request from Janka! (Member of the Brazilian group)

There it is again... the 19th of September!!! I am celebrating my birthday today the fourtyfifth time. Halleluja – thank you so much... thank you all for your Friend - and LoveShip. It is the first time, that I want to celebrate this day in such a "public" way. I didn't plan it, but the world situation with its cruelty of humanity gives me the necessity to act now in that new way. The situation is not new, unfortunately, but there are moments, where "it" just gets you!!! And out of this state I write you these lines. I have a deep gratitude towards anybody and everything that supports and helps to find the healing picture of our planet and for humanity. Thank you. Humbly I can say, that I was already given many presents in my life and many possibilities to be in service for the whole. Yes, I can say I am rich! I live in such an abundance... I have food, water, friends, I life in a peaceful environment and I can dedicate my work and time to help creating models for a new culture. "It is no longer about fighting the existing systems, which will break down by themselves. It is much more about knowing the new directions and creating planetary base stations for them." Models are places where these new systems are researched, gathered and applied in real living structures. These models become centers where this knowledge is made accessible to many peole. Please, if you want to give me a present for my birthday this year... help to connect these models! Give financial support to an international and experiential education platform, a network of peace projects and communities engaged in creating regional models of peaceful and regenerative culture... it is called the GLOBAL CAMPUS. The Global Campus is a project for gathering and developing information about how to live, in a decentralized and healthy way, where trust becomes again the base for our life on this planet. All the knowlegde to make this the reality exists! Now we are challenged to create networked intelligence to combine the different pieces in the most profound, healing and holistic way. One of the main research and work areas of the Global Campus is the design of social structures that allow to re-emerge among humans. I myself will join a group which will go for one month to Sao Paulo, where we will live in a slum together with the locals. Claudio Miranda, who is leading the "Favela da Paz", began more then 20 years ago to gather friends to make music with tin cans. Now they are "Poesia Samba Soul", a successful musical band offering a perspective of life beyond drugs and violence. In recent years the scope of the project has widened giving birth to the vision of the "Favela da Paz" ("slum of peace") which develops answers for the current social situation of the slum. Through urban permaculture and renewable energy solutions, building community and studying peace knowledge, "Favela da Paz" becomes an education center and a role-model for its surrounding. I thank you for your support in whatever way... whether it will be money, prayers and blessings, mails and letters, greetings and following us via internet on our journey! I am looking forward to hear and read from you. I greet you today on my birthday with a very full heart and in solidarity to our common love story to Mother Earth. May "She" shine again as bright as possible. In gratitude, Shalom, Janka
