I have an idea that is very broad, but I feel like it has a place somewhere out there. <div><br></br></div>
<div>I'd like to create an education system to teach people skills that they can use to directly improve their local communities. </div>
<div><br></br></div>
<div>I'd like to come up with a model that can:</div>
<div><br></br></div>
<div>1. pay for itself as much as possible to keep in running.</div>
<div>2. be easily duplicated in any community.</div>
<div>3. be adaptable to the most urgent issues…</div>

<div>1. pay for itself as much as possible to keep in running.</div>
<div>2. be easily duplicated in any community.</div>

<div>While some issues can't be fixed by teaching a simple skill (ie. disease), I think that basic skills can perhaps improve the economy of a small community and increase their knowledge on certain issues (ie. they would be able to afford more care, and also learn how to prevent disease). </div>

<div>The amount of knowledge that we in the developed world possess is truly immense. If we can SHARE a little of this with those in less fortunate places, I think they can go a long way for themselves.</div>

<div>Ideas? Thoughts? Comments? <br/>Looking for people interested in these ideas to collaborate over the coming weeks and perhaps put a defined Evokation together!</div>
