For a while ROBERT REDFORD had a group called NEW HEROES that gave tools to AFRICAN FARMERS like the irrigation treadle bicycle...the SKOLL ORG took up the work, see them on YOUTUBESTART A ROBERT REDFORD, NEW HEROES GROUP ! Redford Was the POSTER BOY FRONT PIECE for a HEROES OF THE THIRD WORLD group which sent IRRIGATION TREADLE BICYCLES to the THIRD WORLD. " NEW HEROES" IT WAS CALLED They used to send you the DVD and curriculum for free.  Group starting is easy. See my piece on GIVING LIVING ROOM GROUPS WITH DIFFERENT THEMES. Groups build synergy, conversance with new technologies, motivate, inspire and change economies and heal. Imagine attending a LEARN to do  THIRD WORLD TRADE group! That would be an  IMPORT/ EXPORT seminar, also teaching MERCANTILISM and it's a totally free TRAINING you can take online, no registering even. Complete instructions on HOW To create his first TRADE CIRCLE. Imagine a DESIGNERS' international SEMINAR called "WHAT MERCHANDISE IS HOT"  These classes are built to inspire artists and designers into forming their own commune and wholesaling merchandise internationally. Other themes for a group might be a frugal lifestyle group.  

Actor ROBERT REDFORD created the NEW HEROES group concept and did a multi- episode PBS TV SERIES on 'Starting a BUSINESS with THIRD WORLD VILLAGERS" which was a 'create capitalism, prosperity technique. He called his system " NEW HEROES". He invited people to GET THE free DVD/ & videos and show them at meetings. START your local frugal group as a SPROUT of the Robert REDFORD NEW HEROES group which when I didn't see it online anymore with him, left traces in A DOCUMENTARY. HE narrates it. There are many online. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xJOGDfEPaU  THE SKOLL ORG took up the work.

The REDFORD IDEA would SOLVE all the problems of war-damaged, drought-damaged starving third world countries. STANDFORD BIZ SCHOOL did it as KICK START. They would help you if YOU wanted to start a "FEED THE THIRD WORLD GROUP. Fund raising you do will make a difference in some neglected, drought-torn corner of AFRICA. Your CHILDREN's personalities would be changed by entering into doing the baking/cooking work for fund-raising celebrations. Their consciousness would be raised after ONE VIEWING of a REDFORD documentary. They'd become SAINTS! Now, I know you don't have time, you work 40 hours, drive car 10-20 hours to get to work. You flat fall out week-ends just when you have to run errands or have quality time with the kids but precisely that DEBT/ consumerism lifestyle is the problem.

Frazzled parents are lax parents, while not BAD PARENTS. BONE UP on the LACK OF PARENTING SKILLS the AMERICAN/ NORTHERN HEMISPHERE (to include Europe,) lifestyle. That lack of parenting skills is what I would call it.... The Technocrat world causes a sacrifice in child raising which is engendering the weirdness of kids today. COLUMBINE KIDS. VIDEO GAME KIDS. Shooting VIDEO GUNS. All those schizy shooters in schools. Their weird tastes in music, (no longer sweet and artistic like Beatles,) but harsh rap, street stuff. GOTH and Dragons and Dungeons. I don't know much about this but you may. Fill me in. But today I have fifty year old kids who are so stressed over debt that they can't always steer the grandkids toward nobility any more than I COULD 30 yrs ago so I'm real up on this.

BECOME folks who discuss HAVOC IN THE CULTURAL MARKETPLACE book titles.  Get the books from ABE BOOKS using a FRUGAL METHOD to get  old books for a buck each. Become the verbal master of all the REALLY CONTROVERSIAL assertions about MODERN LIFE, and be backed up by statistics. Then give living room groups where you download what you know into them. YOU NEED to deputize your students to be stat analysts and SURF the net looking for facts to bring to meeting. Conscript members from  local colleges with bulletin board ads "FUN PARTY/ SEMINAR FREE. TO GET DESIGNERS/ ARTISTS to do INTERNAT'L TRADE. Work with STARVING AFRICAN VILLAGERS, " etc. ... But start by getting the STATS on starvation, hunger, genocidal CIA intrusion / proxie terrorists and false flag ops causing CIVIL WAR and REBELLION in the third world, Africa, Latin America. And last, related to our welfare at home, the incredible DUMBING DOWN of American students. You know, kids' decreasing acculturation/education, also decreasing motivation to do something really lively. There are new tests done by psych dept where they ask kids to push a button and apply electric shocks to test subjects to spot increasing alienation, stuff like that. So you need to find university psych dept mavins who know SOCIETY sociologists, statisticians. Invite them. Cops who know crime and become (yourselves,) cataloguers of SYMPTOM- OLOGY ...how to read a culture. How to read flaw and cause.

PROBLEMS OF THE TECHNOCRAT SOCIETY - This is a buzz word phrase for increasing capitalistic sway, debt, credit card debt, consumerism, need for mom/pop to work two jobs, no stay at home nurturing, everyone bling oriented, stats on how the economy has risen up like a boa and is swallowing mankind whole!

THE ENEMIES: lst chakra survival concerns, of course you can't use word lst chakra, unless you say 'hindus suggest that the aberrant, panicky human gets stuck in first chakra SURVIVALISM, and FREUD seeemed to validate that concept, saying ANAL personality types are stuck on the lowest ctr. or mode of thinking. Fear based, ungenerous.

Do a website as well as a group. Your website's articles and info sources will give you the stats on world hunger. Websites attract ad revenue. REALLY make this group interesting to SOCIAL WORKERS. FOSTER FAMILY SERVICES. UNIVERSITY PSYCH DEPT. CHILD REARING SPECIALISTS. EACH meeting has the stats from a new sector. A guest speaker. INCLUDE BRITAIN/EUROPE in statistics. As they're technocrat societies. I know that's hard, but you have to include all technocrat countries.

WHEN Your group is the foremost authority on the subject, become an ad hoc PUBLIC RELATIONS GROUP for the concept. That way you can get lucrative jobs as LOBBYISTS and/or PUBLIC RELATIONS PEOPLE. Out of a home office, you can bill a million a year doing that. But start with how society is being torn apart by the dollar, by fear, how parents DEVOUR their own children, brutalize them....and giving incidents of children really brtualized. like the high incidence nowadays of parents killing their own children locking them up, starving them. THEN you will get into the newspapers. EVERY reporter will visit, take notes write it up and the concepts will
enter into media YOUR GROUP will become the hottest lecture in town. You can charge 5$ every time you give it, fill an auditorium and create activism. I was attracted to activism when I went to a free ART SHOW, Guatemalan and Salvadoran native crafts. Well, it turned out to be pics of art and pots but also images of murdered villagers, CIA trained death squads. And then a speaker who was obviously a longtime anti-CIA activist, bearded Freud man, very authoritative and I FELL UNDER THE SPELL of the event and became an activist.

A FRUGAL group that became a political activist group? That never happened in history of world. UNLESS you count the FRENCH REVOLUTION where the starving peasants rose up and MURDERED THE ENTIRE
artistocracy.

YOUR GROUP is a pressure valve to prevent that happening. IT IS NOT AN AGITATING group. What it can be is a party giving fun fellowship. Later a PR business. Very much an ACTIVIST GROUP that can go national. To learn how to give fun, fundraising parties, neighborhood festivals, read the PARTY INDEX.
