"In the Loop!"

Speaking into a learning experience one blog at a time.

Need others to so build on this work/vision.

Olga Murray of Sausalito, Calif., has traveled the world and held fascinating jobs, but nothing has given her more satisfaction than her encore career of preventing young Nepalese girls from being sold into slavery.

“I loved my work, but the last 25 years have been the best years of my life because of the work I do now,” say Murray, now 83. “It is so unbelievably satisfying. I feel I am getting far more out of it than I’m giving. I have friends that say, ‘Nobody needs me anymore,’ and I always say to them, ‘Go out and do something for someone and see how you feel.’”

Longtime technology educator Dr. Wesley Perusek has pioneered innovative projects in New Jersey and Ohio. He proposes the development of a cadre of experienced educators to help teach science, technology, education and math (STEM). He writes:

Imagine the potential of just those retired educators listed if a mechanism was in place to bring them all to one or several focus groups. Problems in education remain and grow almost daily. Look alone at Colin Powell’s America’s Promise Alliance and the drop-out problem.

Look at the National Commission on Adult Literacy citing: “More than half of U.S. workers lack basic education and more than 1.2 million young adults – one in three – drop out of high school each year.”

How do networks of good people doing good works begin?
