Robyn,

I will do absolutely anything and everything that I can do to help!  

Your life story is so incredibly inspiring and your global humanitarian efforts are so extraordinary, so compassionate and so profound. The "back story" behind OneLeap involves such incredible Leaps of Faith in the potentialities of humanity.

Although I only was able to speak with you for a few seconds when you were here recently in Las Vegas, it was a true thrill for me to be able to shake your hand and to meet you in the flesh.  And your TEDx Calico Canyon presentation on the true inner humanity of the South African inmates for life was simple, powerful, thought-provoking, full of challenges to stereotypes and also full of the possibilities of redemption and reform in life. 

Humbling and thought provoking.  Touching and captivating.

Your life is a continuous roadmap for improving the status quo, for bringing a light to arenas of darkness, for breaking down of stereotypes, and for uplifting those who might otherwise be forgotten or, perhaps even worse, dismissed and frowned upon by others.

Thank you for touching my life and that of so many others.

With the greatest of admiration,

Rick

 P.S. I am :bcc'ing this correspondence to you and to a WIDE swath of my various social media networks!

Dear Rick,

I'm delighted to announce that the new OneLeap site - recently mentioned in the Independent, StartupTV and chosen for the prestigious Unreasonable Institute - is now live and already creating fantastic connections, each also helping a great charity.

OneLeap enables anyone who signs up to get through to any professional contact, and get a guaranteed reply. OneLeap is also a filter for busy people, like you, ensuring you only hear from the best. And it does all this while raising money for your favourite charity.

Unlike social networks, OneLeap doesn’t play games with you, or ask you to tell the world where and how you spent your last 30 seconds. It’s not another daily duty. When you need to, it's a tool that enables you to make direct contact, on good terms, with hard-to-reach people. And if you receive OneLeap messages, you’ll get good messages, on your terms.

I'm asking for a simple favour. As a platform that connects all sorts of people, we've got to get in front of as many people as possible, as quickly as possible! So I'm asking the people who I most respect, who others respect, to help spread the word.

You can help OneLeap become the standard by which high-end, responsible business communication happens.

And you can help in as small or large a way as possible - be it a quick tweet or Facebook post or an email to your colleagues/friends/network.

I can't thank you enough for anything you can do to help.

Best wishes and enjoy using OneLeap!

Robyn


HOW TO HELP US

1. Signup!

Please do this if nothing else. Just go to http://oneleap.to/signup and signup in a few clicks with Linkedin or Facebook profile. (It’s free!)

2. Say something nice on Facebook / LinkedIn / Twitter

Like us on our Facebook page, perhaps say something about us on your wall.
On LinkedIn, post the link to oneleap.to
Tweet something like:
  • “Congratulations @oneleap on launching http://oneleap.to, the way to get heard above the social media din while helping your charity”
  • “I've just signed up to @oneleap at http://oneleap.to so I can receive better messages and help charity”


3. Send a charming email to a few friends
A big ask, but don't knock me for trying. Why not email your friends/network telling them about us?

Or, for the really particular, set an automatic email response to improve your inbox  

Here’s one our members are using

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m now using OneLeap to help me prioritise messages from people I haven’t met. Please send me a message at http://oneleap.to/yourname

To send me a OneLeap message, you have to put down a small fee. This helps me sort serious people from the hundreds of time-wasters in my inbox. When I reply, the money goes Arms Around the Child, the fantastic charity I support - never to me. If I don't reply in 10 days, you'll get a 100% refund.   

Why I use OneLeap
I don't have time to properly consider all the messages I receive each day from new people. Even if you're someone I really should be paying attention to, the chances are your email (one in a big pile) won't get the attention it deserves. I want to be open to new people, with great ideas and proposals. OneLeap lets me do this effectively - and give better responses to you - if you're serious.

Thanks,

Your name

    LED BY ZAPPOS.COM CEO TONY HSIEH, WE ARE PASSIONATE PEOPLE TRANSFORMING DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS INTO THE MOST COMMUNITY-FOCUSED LARGE CITY IN THE WORLD.

    ENTREPRENEURSHIP

    We are building a community-focused, dense urban core made up of high-density residential and a multitude of spaces to gather, most of them powered by passionate entrepreneurs. We believe that most successful entrepreneurs are people who are passionate about their craft and believe in building community.

    We believe that people shouldn’t have to wait forty years to retire and follow their passion. Our goal is to support entrepreneurs who meet a basic set of criteria:

    • Are you passionate about the idea?
    • Are you capable of executing it?
    • Does it help build community?
    • Is it sustainable?

    We aim to invest in 100-200 entrepreneurs who meet that criteria, build programs to help them avoid many of the basic mistakes new entrepreneurs make, and, combined with our urban development plans, help them build the perfect space to follow their passion.

    OUR MISSION

    We are a group of passionate people committed to transforming Downtown Las Vegas into the most community-focused large city in the world. We are doing that by inspiring and empowering people to follow their passions to create a vibrant, connected urban core. We think you should read Triumph of the City.

    We aim to:

    • Build the most community-focused large city in the world…in the city you would least expect.
    • Create the coworking capital of the world for communities including technology, fashion, music and more.
    • Inspire people to follow their passion.
    • Do it in less than five years.

    We believe:

    • Urban residential density of at least 100 people per acre combined with ground-level gathering places such as cafes, interesting small businesses and public spaces increases economic output and happiness.
    • Community development is more about the people than real estate. The physical spaces should reflect the community’s values.
    • We have the opportunity to build a sustainable community that embraces nature and reduces the community’s dependency on cars.

    We’re specifically focused on several objectives:

    • Arts, Music and Culture: Investing in events, spaces and people that provide a creative outlet for one of the largest communities of creative people in the world…Las Vegas. Read more.
    • Community & Coworking: Helping bring together and empower passionate people around common interests including art, music, fashion, technology and more. Read more.
    • Education: Investing in public, private and alternative innovative education opportunities that support the development of our community as a supportive environment for families. Read more.
    • Entrepreneurship: A sustainable, passionate community should be made up of entrepreneurs following their passions. Read more.
    • Technology: Investing in startups, founders and community support efforts that helps to build a collaborative, innovative technology hub. Read more.
    • Urban Development: Building physical spaces and connectivity infrastructure that encourage serendipitous interactions, provide opportunities to engage with nature and accelerate learning. This includes innovative residential, business and community spaces.Read more.

    The mission of the fund is to pool resources from all over the world to help kids in the Philippines.

    Our story is about heroic kids who face daily challenges just to be able to go to school. They are our inspiration. 

    We believe it is our responsibility to make sure that no child is left behind.

    We started out as a group on Facebook called 'Zamboanga Funds for Little Kids.' (https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_165167500182101&ap=1)

    Charley Johnson do you think that you can help to make the connection for PFLK and Olly Hicks' projects? Linking sailing and oceanographic exploration and education to "aquatic little kids" who have overcome great barriers to learn and to achieve an education. Doesn't there seem to be a natural connection?
    I spoke briefly with Olly about it last weekend @TEDxCCanyon Las Vegas

     but did not really have much of an opportunity to network with Olly. Denny Morales, Sean D. Olivares, Ronald Jay Arceo could you assist in this "collaborative endeavor"?

    Farmers Markets and Spring Gardening: Las Vegas


    Farmers Markets and Spring Gardening
    AIR DATE: January 13, 2012

    With the revival of downtown, two Las Vegans want to bring a new farmers market to an old bus terminal near Fremont Street. Kerry Clasby, known as the Intuitive Forager and Cheryl MacPherson, a local beverage executive plan to open the market in February in the city owned terminal near the shuttered Lady Luck Casino. Meantime, Spring weather is only a couple of months away, so what should you be thinking about for your Spring garden? We discuss where you can get fresh produce at farmers markets around town and take your calls and emails about tips for Spring gardening.

    COMMENTS:
    with all due respect http://yardsprout.wordpress.com/ and related resources are about using technologies to bring LOCAL resources together more efficiently. the use of the technology makes it easier to find LOCAL solutions, not to try to implement "best practices" that might be "geographically specific." QR codes in particular allow individuals with smartphones to share huge amounts of LOCALLY useful information in efficient ways.

    I am so very touched by the message regarding the Padua Charitable Fund

    Basic Information

    Founded
    2007
    Location
    Company Overview
    Urban poverty is a serious global problem. There are 1 billion people living in slums all over the world. In the Philippines, this problem is paramount and urgent. We can all do our bit and make the Philippines and the world an even more beautiful place to live in by helping eradicate the slums of our cities and rehousing poor deprived families in cleaner, safer, self-reliant and happier communities
    Description
    The Padua Charitable Fund was founded in July 2007 with the conviction that everyone has the basic right to a decent home, good health and education necessary to ensure the continuity of a safe, sound and happy society!

    The Padua Charitable Fund is registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales and with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Philippines. We are organized and operated solely by volunteers. We have a Chairperson, a Secretary and a Treasurer, a Board of Trustees and approximately 30 members. Our members are united by their vision, albeit in their own small way, in helping to create a world devoid of poverty, homelessness, disease, ignorance and illiteracy, injustice and inequality.

    Home is where the heart is

    Our organisation makes financial contributions towards projects that aim to eradicate the slums of the Philippines by replacing these through the voluntary building of decent homes, to include basic and necessary facilities for homeless families as befit all human beings.

    General Information
    The Philippines is an archipelago of 7,107 tropical islands, many of them untouched, a geographical phenomenon intricately positioned in the western Pacific ocean in Southeast Asia.

    It is a land of many contrasts.....Paradise-like verdant fertile islands, endless miles of stunning white beaches, clear turquoise seas endowed with the world's richest marine and coral life, dazzling hills and mountains, stretches of dense virgin rainforests as well as treacherous volcanoes and periodic typhoons ravaging homes and agricultural life.

    A young thriving republic gaining independence in 1898 after nearly 400 years of Spanish colonialisation, the Republic of the Philippines, attracting foreign elements mainly because of its ideal geographical position and wealth in natural resources, further endured many years of colonial rule and subjugation, disrupting the smooth continuity of governance and of growth and life in general.. This, coupled with a fragmented geography resulting in a clannish or regional mentality, led the country to struggle even more in attaining national unity and social-economic progress.

    It is also a land of extreme wealth and extreme poverty. With a current population of over 80 million, the Philippines' problems have been exacerbated by the lure of people to the cities where a "slum" culture is quickly established, people finding themselves entrenched in a vicious poverty trap of no decent homes, no employment, inadequate education, no choice or movement in the social scale.

    It is indeed ironic that this blessed land of natural bounty and beauty, of smiles and laughter, and of warm, generous, hospitable, hardworking and enduring people, should be unjustly besieged by poverty beyond belief.
