We
currently are laying down
the foundation of "A Tiny Shift In Connecting Schools" . We are
doing "fun" things such as writing constitution/by-laws, formulating day to day
policy and raising awareness that inlcudes public events in 2012.
We intend to write a financial system that is detailed, open and
transparent with tracking so that everyone can follow our money
trail. We hope to raise much of the capital needed the old
fashioned way.. WE WANT TO EARN IT. One plan is to write useful
software packages that we will market as free ware using "Open Source"
as our model.
If you are in the Hamilton, ON, Canada area and
have roots with areas where we wish to connect schools such
as in the Canadian Artic or Native Reserves, Haiti, Kenya, South

please contact us to join our Steering Committee . There is a screening process to ensure that
your philosophy and objectives fit that of "A Tiny Shift In
Connecting Schools".
