Turning to Youth to Bring Forward Solutions
(click to read in context)
I am constantly impressed by my conversations with my grandchildren — they are articulate, caring human beings — too often thwarted by disregard and disrespect.
The young people need to be encouraged to speak out and they need to be listened to. If my contemporaries at that age had a fraction of their awareness and sensitivity, I feel the world would be a better place.
Give them an audience and the opportunity to share. The future is theirs.
