Massive change is reshaping our world. Our failing environment and the planet which sustains our very existence is now expected to continue providing sustenance to the growing population in most countries. Many children trapped within war-torn countries are seriously under threat due to loss of family, disease, inadequate health care, education, and the lack of food and clean water.

Globally our communities are experiencing anxiety about the future we step into, in particular what social structures and productive communities will exist for future generations. As an island, Tasmania (Australia) is well poised to demonstrate to the world how communities can become empowered through information flow and collective participation. Any responsible preparation we do today will only be the beginnings of the tasks future generations have ahead of them.

We require a good dose of optimism, so that a healthy balance can be restored at every level of social existence and awareness. Restoring peace, bolstering food and water supplies, improving health services, and providing an open information flow will encourage people to rebuild their lives especially in countries devastated by circumstances beyond their control. Blaming governments will not reverse this situation. Assisting positive change through direct action can bring the vital hope required to put global communities back on their feet. First, we must stop the mechanisms that create such destruction and degradation.

The earth sustaining our future ...

Statistics are revealing that we have destroyed the fragile balance established after billions of years of slow progress, between the unrelenting efforts of life to take hold of this once barren planet. The forces of nature are continually counteracting to bring things back to their simplest mineral and chemical expressions. This is the ultimate result of a civilization unaware of the outcomes established through a lack of awareness of what is transpiring. For change to occur, first, we must change. Too late to avoid the obvious scenario once the obvious outcome has occurred.

In 1800 we had 1 billion people living on the planet. Today, two centuries later, we have 6 billion. This prodigious increase is due to the fact that in 1800 we needed our global forests, in the colder climates, to support our fuel (firewood) and heating requirements.

With the advent of fossil fuels being mined, to provide fuel (coal) and oil (our heating) petroleum needs were being met and consequently the forests were systematically removed to make way for our fast growing population - land was being taken to feed developing communities globally.

This destruction of our forests, and unceasing mining of our fossil fuel, has left the world populous in a volatile and threatening predicament. If this scale of growth continues, in keeping with population trends since the 1800’s, we will see a further dramatic increase that might have the population at critical mass as close as the year 2025. In other words, our vanishing forests, the lungs of the planet, will not be able to support the population today (the first decade of the 21st century), and the fossil fuel bank will soon be due to run out. Areas like Alaska are now being sourced as new deposits of this resource.

As a result of excessive extraction of fossil fuels, in Middle Eastern countries, these commodities are now reaching scarcity. Free energy will be a last resort but will it come too late? The earth and its global communities are currently struggling to support 6 billion people - let alone 12 billion over the next 35 to 40 years.

Humanity in crisis ...

The tragedy of children being traumatised and orphaned through the violence of war worldwide needs to be addressed. We feel appalled that there is little if nothing being done to help these unfortunate souls who no longer have any means of support, no care provided to them, no hope for the future and are left with anger, pain, hurt and distrust of all other human beings. These are the ingredients to fester hatred and war.

You do not get Peace by hating war - you get Peace by loving Peace.

The number of children at risk globally is increasing at a disturbing rate and AHCF’s intention is to create a model that can be built expeditiously and economically in countries where children’s lives are continually threatened.

Our plan is to forge worldwide partnerships to build similar facilities to specifically deal with the protection and safety of young people internationally.

The goal of education must be to inspire each human being to find his or her own truths along the path of Life. The expression of such truths are founded in the experience of joy, excitement and happiness. Developing these attributes relies on an exploration of intellect (thought), unrestrained creativity (imagination), and striving for excellence in delivering the necessary action (accomplishment). All of which brings about a person who is prepared to choose his or her own destiny. When are we going to choose to trust our intuition and imagination with all the methodologies we require to contain and be any idea we want to be - in the moment?
