In Buchen ...
a small town of 17,772 inhabitants, a MATH TEACHER used their story, tasking students to calculate the costs of building a school in the mountains. Grinning, he said “you wouldn’t even make 1,000”.
Students fumed, decided to show him – and scored 10,000.
In year two, they scored 20,000!
In this small town where nothing ever happened … the people have found a MISSION.
This can happen in a million places. We have plenty of magical missions for you

When an Earthquake hit ...
and laid the whole region to ruins, students were shocked. All their work was nil and void. And worse, their friends’ lives were shattered.
The only building that remained intact was the school on the mountain – shining like a symbol of hope.
It shone so bright that now all 7 villages in the valley asked for help to have a school.
What would you do? Namaste took the challenge and went to work.
This is a big one. Would they break?

One sunny day ...
their state’s Minister of Education was in town, and the crew spontaneously decided to go see him. They presented themselves, their cause, their new challenge and if he would help them. Impressed, he (of course) said “amazing, sure, how can I help?”
“Put it on your ministry’s newsletter to school principals, calling them to get involved.”
“Consider it done.”
The Christmas season neared, and schools joined in.



SCHOOLS BUILT IN 3 YEARS

Essential Insight #5
YOU CAN BRING SDGs and DEVELOPMENT and SUSTAINABILITY TO LIFE and LIVE IT – IN ACTION
DEVELOPMENT is many teachers’ darling issue. It aligns with Global Learning, Education for Sustainable Development, the SDGs (Sustainable Deevlopment Goals, also known as “Global Goals”). But usually it’s all limited to raising awareness on sad data, sad people, and maybe a few happy people in Fair Trade articles.
YOU already know that
- that’s outdated
- that’s not enough
- it’s frustrating for teachers and students
You also know that
- we can change lives and land at record pace
- especially youth en masse at school
- teachers love it
- YL Coaches are welcome at school to inform, inspire, involve
- fired up students can self-organize as club and beyond school
So let’s put this to practice!
Boosting big numbers with YL Project Partners
You do remember Page 1’s part REALIZE YOUR POWER … showing how many teams of youth doing $100 bake sales etc can raise $10,000 fast and fun. Or $30,000.
Dollars + Euros have 10x higher value in rural regions with poor people in non-industrial countries. Here is what YL Project Partners can do with such money:
- With $2,000€ Pooja can get 20,000 poor, unschooled children into school, fully equipped
- $20,000€ train, equip and salarize a 5-person Serengeti ranger team for 1 full year
- $70,000€ build an Academy (with spaces for training, education, kitchen, guest rooms and more) for the Red Brigade Trust that in just 7 years have pacified the streets, changed laws, activated police, trained 30,000 girls in self-defense against sexual assault and more … on their quest to train 1 million girls.
The experience of ENORMOUS IMPACT on lives and land is a HUGE EXPERIENCE for youth and adults that never experienced their power, and it inspires to do more. We say it’s INDISPENSABLE and the ULTIMATE kickoff. It also makes youth question why they neve rheard of this before, and after boosting several projects abroad they will some day ponder #okay, so what big things can we rock here at home.’ But they need the BIG experience for this, and there is no time to wait, since we have a planet to save, so let’s generate these power awakening experiences at record speed.
