== A call to Lonny==
Hi Lonny, I don't know if you're still monitoring this, but I want to contact you! It's time the world start talking about the SDGs and the progress our youth is making in reaching them. I'd like to have your students do a demonstration or presentation or even a live interview. The idea is being tossed around and I'd like to do a piece about Appropedia and as many projects as we can find demos for. Would you be interested?
I don't have more specific info now, just in the planning phase and searching for stories.

== Another try!==
I asked the mayor to let me make a Walipini with Syrian refugees, his advisor didn't like it, sooo
I went to school! In 2016 I made a garden in a grade school near me and go there every Wednesday morning to give kids the chance to be in the garden. They come out screaming with joy, I believe they enjoy it. The problem is it's 1-4 grade and we have limited time and resources, worst yet, no teacher interest.
I tried another school named Martin Luther King, I thought I was in the perfect place, here they'll understand the importance of the SDGs. Wrong, I believe the kids would have no problem, but getting the teaching staff to see the point or to believe in the necessity was beyond me. Their white privilege has them putting blinders on the kids, teaching them to ignore the truth around them and keeping the status quo. They teach kids to make money, not search for answers.
I'm asking you again Lonny Grafman, to get your students into the search. With simple answers such as Appropedia creates we could create world peace. If we give the poor work (plastic collection, sorting, cleaning, grinding and reforming) give them the by-product (3d printer ribbons and printers and much more), we allow them to rise into a better existence. One where they can feed and dress their children, allow them to go to school and become productive. It would stop the need for migration, or worse yet, child labor, fathers going off to war, over population and soooo many other things the SDGs are meant to stamp out. All we need to do is begin! The question is where?
I decided in 2015 when I heard about the SDGs that I wan't going to wait for somebody else to begin, I was going to be that somebody. I created this wiki in the hopes of it spreading to kids, to give them food for thought, then began the hunt for a school willing to take a chance. I tried going to the youth center, but again there are adults blocking the way, making the change seemingly impossible. I believe you and I are on a similar wavelength, we both want to see to it that the future of mankind has a reference to keep itself going when the going gets tough, and we both know it's coming. Please Lonny, read through my wiki, give it to your students and ask them to fill holes. To use their minds in ways which may never make money, but could easily be the missing link in our search for peace on earth.
2030 is now only 10 years away and we've missed 5 years of chances for change. I beg you to hear me!
Thank you for your time, I only hope this reaches you desktop.
Kind regards
Big O
