Great Harvest of Hope — ONline

The Great Harvest of Hope project being created for Young IDEAs dramatic presentation and can confidently say that the collaborative piece will be most moving and intriguing.

The adolescent writings that we are currently processing and editing are by turns , funny, sad, enlightening and heart warming so the end production will be rooted in very inspiring words and ideas.

In true World Congress spirit the Sherbrooke experience is awesome! You would be intrigued by the energy in the room.

There are four languages being spoken all the time in the room, English, French, Spanish and Mandarin!

So far, in only a day and half, we have processed the first reading and edit of nearly 600 works from the Philippines, China, Cuba, Peru, Belgium, Croatia, South Africa, and Iceland.

And are currently immersed in writings from Zimbabwe, Appleby College//Canada, Columbia, London//Canada, Mentor College//Canada, Quebec, and Taiwan, US, India.

We are all working very hard and are excited about where this will all lead for the presentation in Belem//Brazil.

Here’s another great contribution:

FROM NOW ON I WILL (by Christopher//12)
From now on I will bring peace and love,
Please and love as beautiful as a dove,
From now on I will bring love and care,
For everyone, everywhere.
From now on I will respect and treat,
with kindness, everyone that I meet.
From now on I will bring together,
Everyone and peace forever.
Peace with you.

  1. What great insight from this young man. I wish everyone could see things his way and actually put positive thoughts and feelings into ACTION. I hope his work is published to represent Canada but also to represent young people globally.
