Next Step

Can you help me create an online VR space for the 5000 virtual participants of the Lausanne Congress (Sep 22-28)?

A few months ago I was asked by Lausanne to create a series of virtual lounges for the Lausanne IV Congress in Korea. At the time I did not realise what a mammoth task this would be. Right now we have about 6 spaces all joined by portals and "server instancing" means every time a room gets filled with 50 people, it generates a new "instance" of that room so that we can accommodate everyone.

I have reached out to a number of foundations who have supported me in the past but none have been interested in supporting the necessary infrastructure for this to happen which involves paying designers, buying digital assets. bandwidth, upgrading technology, etc.

There is only a few weeks to go and I have spent all my own money on this project. But there is much more to do. Your donation would be greatly valued and it would help the 5000 virtual participants be a part of the physical Congress in S. Korea.

For my birthday I would like to invite you to help me fund a $3,800 surgery that my cousin Abihail (36) needs to correct his eyesight. Over the last three years he has developed a severe case of Strabismus, a vision disorder in which the eyes do not properly align with each other, when looking at an object. Abihail, his wife, and daughter; have chosen to remain in Venezuela during the tumultuous time the country is experiencing. They have made this choice so that they can serve in a leadership capacity in Next Step, a humanitarian aid based non-profit. His condition is complicating his ability to read and drive, especially his ability to drive at night. Abihail is an outstanding man who is making a significant difference. His work and care is giving people a reason to stay in their home country and make life work in Venezuela. I know that we can come together to give Abihail the funds necessary to cover this surgery. Having this surgery will allow him to continue to make a tangible difference in the lives of so many people. Thank you for your consideration!

The vision of Next Step is to link networks that develop partnerships between generations in the market place in order to develop people's potential making common good values a way of life.
