Interviews:
What is the Massive Change Network?
The Massive Change Network is purpose filled, entrepreneurial, experienced based design possibility network. The key strategic idea of the Massive Change Network to provide via various means and methods the inherent and native capacity of citizens, students, governments, business and community leaders to develop and enhance their critical design thinking skills. The vast majority of global citizens lack access to this critical working tool.
Our purpose is sharing knowledge with the 99% of global citizens who do not have access to college, university, or post secondary education. Our intention is to deliver the most knowledge, wisdom and culture to those with the least. The Massive Change Network is mandated to focus on inclusivity rather than exclusivity.
To greet the greatest opportunities and meet the most pressing challenges being presented to our world, citizens must be equipped to accelerate the uptake of new solutions. The emerging global conditions will require a new kind of scholar, worker, entrepreneur, leader, and educator. This emerging ecology of ever increasing technological, social, financial, environmental, governmental, and educational challenges, will require citizens committed to working collaboratively across professional silos, the ability to not only think critically, but creatively, and to move beyond theoretical musings to practical implementation. The 21st century will be the century where every citizen must become a life-long learner of some capacity. A network changes everything.

We are a group of students from two Geneva high schools, English Worldwide College Claparède and College Emilie Gourd.
We meet once a week during the school year (September to May) and find humanitarian projects and raise money for them. This year we have had two major projects in Nepal and in Tanzania.
Nepal
High in the Himalayan Mountains in the villages of Marpha, Mustang and Thak there are children whose families are too poor to buy pencils, books and school uniforms.
With a bakesale and a Nepalese meal we raised enough money this year to send FOUR village children to school for FOUR years each.
Tanzania
Our second project this year was for a leprosy camp outside the town of Mwanza, Tanzania, on the shores of Lake Victoria.
This camp is a special place as the older people have leprosy, many of their children have died of AIDS and so they are now looking after their grandchildren (who do NOT have leprosy).
There are about 250 people (not counting the children) who live in this camp.
