Hi, from The Kingdom of Fife, in Bonnie Scotland!
It's taken a l-o-n-g time 'round these parts, to get back to "basics" so far as the development of Earth Charter inspired Community project-work is concerned! Since taking Fife (& fellow webcam broadcasters from around the world!) by storm, in 2003, on the occasion of our first (& only!) Earth Charter Summit, at Lochore Meadows Country Park, Lochgelly (an eyesore of a former open-cast coal mining site!), nothing noteworthy has happened in The Kingdom since....until a few of us original "Earth Charter Scotland" Members decided to launch a fresh Community Parnership Initiative ("Just One World") at a Jamboree entitled, "One Humanity", on May 17th 2009! This cross-cultural celebration of the inter-connectedness of every individual on the planet hosted Artists, Musicians, Dancers, Health & Wellbeing Practitioners, Community Activists from various locally based Groups, & guests included those from as far afield as Nepal, Poland, Germany, Wales, England, Ireland, The Hebrides, Canada, some of whom travelled to Fife especially for the gathering, whilst others were local residents. It is intended that the progress we made last Sunday continue in a variety of fashions - Workshops, Presentations, Performances, to name a few! As The Chairperson of our new Group, I would greatly appreciate details regarding a Representative of "Just One World" attending your forthcoming US National Conference.
Please furnish me the necessary information in this respect, thank-you, & keep up the GOOD work!

Sincerely,

Sandra Edmondson
