The Problem
The epidemic that I am tackling is misunderstanding. By eliminating the language gap that separates so many of us, there will be few excuses to eliminate a state of harmony, peace, and understanding.
Why It's Important
I believe that by opening windows of opprotunity to people who would like to take the initiative to learn foreign languages, the world will slowly change. These languages may become 'universal' and ultimately destroy stereotypes and misunderstanding in the world.
The Plan Of Action
I would love to begin establishing an organization of universal languages. This organization would allow volunteers to instruct all students in their requested foreign language. Students who naturally speak a foreign language (language other than English)may learn English . I truly feel as though many of our global epidemics are caused by misunderstanding and this is solely one way to correct it.
How Can Others Get Involved?
Others can help by becoming volunteer teachers or mentors. Once the organization becomes well established, volunteers will be offered more benefits.
