And this is very hopeful for me as I travel around the world 300 days a year.

Everywhere there's a group of roots and shoots of different ages.

Everywhere there are children with shining eyes saying, look at the difference we've made.

And now comes the technology into it, because with this new way of communicating electronically, these kids can communicate with each other around the world.

And if anyone's interested to help us, we've got so many ideas, but we need help.

We need help to create the right kind of system that will help these young people to communicate their excitement, but also, and this is so important, to...

to communicate their despair, to say, we've tried this and it doesn't work.

What should we do?

And then lo and behold, there's another group answering these kids who may be in America.

Maybe this is a group in Israel saying, yeah, you did it a little bit wrong.

This is how you should do it.

The philosophy is very simple.

We do not believe in violence.

No violence, no bombs, no guns.

That's not the way to solve problems.

Violence leads to violence, at least in my view.

so how do we solve the tools for solving the problems knowledge and understanding know the facts but see how they fit in the big picture hard work and persistence don't give up and love and compassion leading to respect for all life so basically Roots & Shoots is beginning to change young people's lives it's what I'm devoting most of my energy to and

I believe that a group like this can have a very major impact, not just because you can share technology with us, but because so many of you have children.

And if you take this program out and give it to your children, they have such a good opportunity to go out and do good because they've got parents like you.

And it's been so clear how much you all care about trying to make this world a better place.
