Yesterday my mother and I spent the afternoon at The Mercury Cafe with a group of great folks who are kicking off their Denver/Boulder launch of the Sustainable Global Leadership Alliance. We saw their documentary of students ages 15-25 who participated in the 2005 India-Nepal trip with SGLA and were moved by the discussion afterwards with SGLA alumni. The "learning" I took away from this event is that "becoming sustainable" is a process that starts within and can be nurtured from without. This summer I plan on joining the SGLA during their second weekend gathering (prior to the July trip) as a community leader to talk a bit about my experiences in Jewish communal work and travels abroad serving others. My mom might come along as well to talk about her work in Peru---be sure to stay posted!
If you have high school/college-age students and want to give them a gift this summer, get in touch with Michelle Wheat (michelle@sgla.org or 303-800-6802) for info on the 2010 Boulder/Denver India-Nepal Summer Program. Weekend sessions in June prior to the July 8-29, 2010 trip and following this experience in August are all part of the SGLA program.
If you live outside Colorado, check out the website (http://www.sgla.org/) for a regional office that may be closer to you to apply.
