‘Friends of The Edge’ initiative
Derk Hueting regularly wonders about how to deal with the world around us: full of ecological and economical problems and violent conflicts. Humanity is exhausting natural resources, is not very successful in living peacefully together and all too often seeks satisfaction in material things.
He sees the lack of inspiring leaders as one of the major causes. A lack of people with a long term view, who want to make a difference and who make the choice to contribute to a better world with their heart and soul. On the other hand he knows there is an international group of (young) people that are not simply focused on money and career but who also want to be leaders with purpose and inspiration. These people also come from Eastern Europe and the Middle East, regions with a great need for spiritual leadership. Derk sees The Edge as a place to develop this leadership.
That’s why he has initiated the ‘Friends of The Edge’ to raise funds to finance one or more scholarships for international students from the developing countries
Derk has contributed € 145. And now he is looking for 99 other people to do the same. These 100 people would provide the necessary funds (education plus room and board) for one student to participate in the program that starts in January 2006
