Hundreds of young people from five continents and 35 countries gathered each summer from 2005 to 2013 and worked extraordinarily hard to understand
Last year, 2013, I was asked to select an issue, create a global solution, and present it to the UN. So I did mine on human rights with a case study in Cambodia. It was through a program called Global Education Motivators (GEM). It was a very intense week and I was extremely sick for more than half of seminar, changed my project 3 times, and created I AM HUMAN within 48 hours.
Be mindful when you read I AM HUMAN on pg. 400 in this book a lot has changed since the creation of this. It was originally a project/program to be implemented into Save Cambodia, but now it is Save Cambodia's brand. Visit page: 400.
"Save Cambodia initiative's I AM HUMAN brand was created through this 2013 Design Science/Global Solutions Lab. Human rights are essential to the cultural, economic, social and psychological well being of humans. Many citizens of many countries throughout the world have little to no awareness of their human rights and are exploited by leaders and others who use this ignorance to their own advantage. Making people aware of their right to human rights, and what these rights are, is an effective technique for moving the battle for human rights forward. A specific country, Cambodia, is used to illustrate the overall strategy. The design science/global solutions lab is one very intense week, where participants learn and apply the concepts on developing solutions and strategies for reaching the UN's Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The design science labs are focused on demonstrating how, using present day technology, known resources, and limited financial wherewithal global and local problems can be solved in sustainable and affordable ways. The participants are briefed by United Nations staff from the UNEP, UNDP, UNICEF, WHO, and others on the MDGs."
