PERU WEBCAST VIDEO
Did you see our second and final Literacy Challenge webcast from Peru? During the live event, two schools in the U.S. connected with their Peruvian peers who are beneficiaries of the Literacy Challenge. Students discussed everything from the importance of literacy to hobbies and dreams for the future. We even took audience questions sent in online, answered them in real time -- and handed out bookmarks. You can see it all by watching the webcast video.

er whether they were inspired by some outside source, like the Dalai Lama, or whether they were generated from within you. If I share electricity with my neighbor, it doesn't matter whether I'm drawing it from the power grid of the electrical company or from my own rooftop electricity-producing solar panels. What's important is the sharing, the act.
and uplifting. Share a variety of things, including material things like a spoonful of your ice cream, physical things like a hug, and emotional or intellectual things like your undivided attention or your knowledge. Tune in to those things you regularly share but you might not normally notice you do.
(For those of you working with children, the concept of sharing should be a familiar one. In the spirit of today's mission, however, see if you can help the children understand that in many ways people are constantly sharing a variety of things - among these are our attitudes, facial expressions, and tone of voice. What I am aiming at here is to help everyone learn how to come from a compassionate core so the energy we share is full of care, concern, warmth and love.)
