Gifted Children

Helping gifted children belonging to underprivileged communities that don't have adequate resources and  good support structure


Questions:

1 What role can the privileged students and their parents play in these efforts?

2 How far can we apply the King-Gandhian ideas of peaceful change to this issue? Do you know of any current project of this nature?

3 In what manner can we make use of the fields such as psychology, sociology, anthropology etc? What is the thinking of experts in this matter?

4 Are there some current leaders already following this gentle, cooperative, constructive path? To put it more "energetically", Where are these new "dreamers"?;
Where are the modern "Gandhis" and "Kings"?

5 Can gangs outside and inside jails play a role in this venture?

6 Can the entrepreneurial and managerial skills of venture capitalists be put to use for this enterprise?

7 Would your suggestions, information and/or participation--as individuals or groups--make a difference in dealing with this important challenge?

An afterthought!

Do you feel that each lawmaker, say in Washington D.C. area, should "adopt" at least one gifted child plus family and follow their progress?
We know that generally their hands are full, their schedules are packed and the campaign coffers empty, but once they put their hearts to it, they can do it!  

Especially if this were to happens, America, the "most powerful county in the history of mankind", will lead the whole world in addressing this issue. After all,
we are dealing with our children's future and they are going to be the leaders of tomorrow. Better trained leaders are more likely to lead a country
to greater heights.

Is this an utopian vision? You decide.
