GUEST FROM NORTH CAROLINA
Today we have a guest from North Carolina. Curson Duffy is one among the 40 school students who were given scholarships by Watson Foundation to work on different topics for a whole year. She is 22 years old and has to visit Chile, South Africa, Turkey, Germany and India to finish her project on Community Development and Inter-faith relationships. What a great opportunity for the young ones to see the vast world and to experience life in different continents! I was only 21 when I visited Europe for the first time. Taize Community(France) invited me when I was doing my M.A in Fatima College, Kollam. My stay in the Ecumenical Community revolutionised my thinking and that experience played a big role in shaping my life and ideology. I am ever grateful to Taize family.
Watson Foundation is investing in young people. I am told that every year they give scholarships for 40 students. Those who have money here are investing in concrete buildings! Huge churches, palatial parsonages, auditoriums and what not? These buildings will die soon. But if you can mould a great number of peace builders, the Earth will live a little longer than now expected. You can have richness and be wise.

Good Idea. That is why we invested our money and time in KIPS to mold the young generation.
