I'm definitely committed to making an impact on a global scale but its not easy figuring out what that means in a practical sense. I'm headed out of the country again in September to Australia on a Rotary International Exchange, perhaps that will shed some light. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.

Good for you for improvising in a difficult situation! Enjoy the positive aspects of the culture and bring home a better understanding for world issues. Unfortunately, you haven't seen the worst of the disparity and poverty being experienced in other parts of the world. We're are a blessed nation. Hope your luggage catches up to you soon!

This interest led me to be a part of Mobilize.org¹s Democracy 2.0 Campaign. On July 4, Mobilize.org began the Democracy 2.0 project to call attention to the ways that our democratic process and institutions are properly serving and failing to serve the interests of Americans, specifically young Americans. The purpose of Democracy 2.0 is to call attention to the main problems of our current political system, highlight the distinct characteristics of the Millennial Generation, and provide guidelines for change to help cultivate a renewed political process in America. Currently, our political system is trying to manage a 21st century society with 18th century political institutions. Democracy 2.0 will upgrade our current political system, empowering citizens to identify community problems, propose solutions, be a part of the implementation of these solutions, and change the way politics is done in this country. To begin this endeavor, Mobilize.org asked a series of questions and collected data from youth, ages 16-30 that will be reviewed and evaluated by Democracy 2.0 Ambassadors at the Democracy 2.0 Summit on October 3, 2007, with the intention of releasing the Democracy 2.0 Declaration of Our Generation. The Declaration of our Generation is a short statement of principles describing a citizen-centered approach to democracy. The Declaration will focus on three themes: 1) What currently works and what does not work in our democracy; 2) What defines our generation; and 3) What Democracy 2.0 should look like. The Declaration will call attention to areas in which the government is succeeding and failing to serve the public interest, highlight the unique and defining characteristics of our generation, and provide guidelines that will serve as a call to action for American citizens to help create this renewed form of democracy.

Week Released: September 17-21, 2007

The Millennial Generation, including myself, is interested in being an
active part of changing public policy. This interest led me to be a part of
Mobilize.org¹s Democracy 2.0 Campaign.

On July 4, Mobilize.org began the Democracy 2.0 project to call attention to
the ways that our democratic process and institutions are properly serving
and failing to serve the interests of Americans, specifically young
Americans. The purpose of Democracy 2.0 is to call attention to the main
problems of our current political system, highlight the distinct
characteristics of the Millennial Generation, and provide guidelines for
change to help cultivate a renewed political process in America.

Currently, our political system is trying to manage a 21st century society
with 18th century political institutions. Democracy 2.0 will upgrade our
current political system, empowering citizens to identify community
problems, propose solutions, be a part of the implementation of these
solutions, and change the way politics is done in this country.

To begin this endeavor, Mobilize.org asked a series of questions and
collected data from youth, ages 16-30 that will be reviewed and evaluated by
Democracy 2.0 Ambassadors at the Democracy 2.0 Summit on October 3, 2007,
with the intention of releasing the Democracy 2.0 Declaration of Our
Generation. The Declaration of our Generation is a short statement of
principles describing a citizen-centered approach to democracy. The
Declaration will focus on three themes: 1) What currently works and what
does not work in our democracy; 2) What defines our generation; and 3) What
Democracy 2.0 should look like.

The Declaration will call attention to areas in which the government is
succeeding and failing to serve the public interest, highlight the unique
and defining characteristics of our generation, and provide guidelines that
will serve as a call to action for American citizens to help create this
renewed form of democracy.

I wanted to mention this opportunity since every posting here has an

Democracy 2.0 Online Ambassadors to be a part of the drafting process. If
