I hope that this message finds you well. Many of us44 featured HeroInes have been busy, mademagnificient steps on their quests, others are goingthrough a calm phase.

I am sharing VERY IMPORTANT news about YL andour common venture. There's many super fantasticnews, and also - this is the time that I need your help- SERIOUSLY - but just for half an hour - to help youand countless people and the Earth.Please take a couple of minutes to suck in the news.

I wasn't sure which photo to choose, - and since rhinos, elephantsand horses have all been present in media in emergency issues, Ichose to take them all. After all, we cannot have enough spirit allieson this urgent quest of our lifetime - and for taking Change GenerationRising into every school in the world.

First of all,the website is candy, now, with lots of lush visualimpressions of all your activities.

Next,the YL Card Game is ready to go in an updated edition.

Many of you have their deck(s), and those who havenot will soon get it. I apologize for delays - there hasbeen some misunderstanding in mailings for months.But Avalon should have her hands on dozens of decksthese days and is ready to send them our right away.

I would enjoy hearing whether you have got yours,and how you like it. Questions and feedback arewelcome to polish it up. I have already made edits tomake the Rules more easy to understand for peoplewho have not grown up playing Top Trumps.

This can very well be combinedwith mentioning that> you are available as speaker, and via webcast> for the Philanthropic Club> for schools etc.and that> inspired youth can join your initiative

I have a

COVER LETTER for you to use,an EXCELLENT INFO BROCHUREand a really GOOD WEBSITE

providing all the information,visual impressions etc

I would like to invite you to briefly check themout, especially flipping through the brochurehere: http://bit.ly/1f7TEDP

You can access it alsovia www.youth-leader.org/cardgameThe frontpage links to it, too.

I am going to editthe cover letterand send it to youtomorrow.

Okay. Beyond the cardgame,there is more. The ACTION PACKSfor your causes. Here is no.1:

With Avalon Theisen (frogs, wetlands etc.)I am working on a global call for contributions byyoung people to a FROG cardgame, along withsounds, videos and their own photos and story of theday of discovery.

This is already, cool, but her Action pack will be FULLwith activities, connected with no one less but theAMPHIBIANS SURVIAL ALLIANCE, the planetaryamphibians and wetlands conservation network, theirexcellent nature photography media, books, expertdata, and their interactive multimedia, citizen scienceand observation platforms www.amphibians.org,www.inaturalist.org, and others. This is ALL scientists,nature centres etc. working in this field on PlanetEarth - it's almost too much to grasp, and their com­munications captain is all fired up for cooperation onall ends to connect with the young generation to savethe planet. We are working on this this week.

Avalon is editor of their global Frog Log magazineJUNIOR edition. Next month, I am contributing a pieceabout YL, youth leadership, the cardgame, the froggame call. And all this is linking to YL and all of us.So, please Hi5 us! This is really big!

TAKE ACTION - PACKSprovide high quality resources, information,tools, and action tips for joining ourHeroInes initiatives, and replicating theirsolutions at home and abroad. They areexcellent tools for activists and educators,and used by our YL Warriors community.

Then, there's the POSTERS

Like the card games, they appear in 15 languages.

They make excellent> Teaching Tools and> Exhibits

Our first pioneer YL WARRIOR CLAN inBangalore, India, is setting up an Exhibit RIGHT NOW,for Water Week, in their very active InternationalSchool. Christine and her friends are well experiencedwith fundraisers of all sorts, and are totally fired upabout the opportunities popping up with YL - already,they are exploring replication of cassandra's TurnGrease into Biofuels project, PhilanthroParties andothers,EVERY MONTH! As true YL Warriors!

POSTER SET44 posters of the HeroInesequip users to reach, inspire and involvetheir class, communities and the public.

They make excellent Teaching Tools, withstory, QR codes and links. A single home­work of research and presentation caninspire a class to follow up with an Exhibit,reaching their entire school community.

Speaking of Warriors and Clans...

that's the emerging YL Action Community.

You haven't seen much of it, yet,

but it's meant to be especially for STUDENTCLUBS around the globe, to take 3 Actionsevery month.

> a fundraiser> a quest (one of your initiatives, or an adultone)> a social experiment (such as 2-4 VeganWeeks)

THIS IS CHANGE GENERATION RISING

and you bet it is going to take of big time!

It is officially starting for the NEXT school yearand I will inform you more in the near future,since this is a major vessel to carry your mes­sage and connect your initiatives with peopleWHO MAKE CHANGEMAKING THEIRLIFESTYLE.

Take Action withgrand changemakersof our time.

YL Community members cangain official YL Warrior status.

They take 3 monthly mis-sions, earn credits andcend levels, like in an ad­venture game, but with realworld-changing impacts!

The game thus is an entrydoor to a groundbreaking Youth Leadership self-Learning Program, and student club curriculum.

That's all for now.

I have already taken up a lot of your precioustime, but it is suuuper good stuff,

WE ARE TAKING YOUR EXAMPLE AND INI­TIATIVE GLOBAL, NOW, and if everythinggoes well, hundreds of thousands of youth withactively contribute and replicate our initiatives.

I hope you can BEAR that I am calling youHeroInes all the time in YL media, ... that'ssimply because all this comes in the playfulshape of a Reality Adventure Game.

And since awards and media call people he­roes, we might as well set the proper definitionand benchmark.

We all know you are ordinary kids :-)

Ordinary Lothlorien and Griffindore kids.

So, my dears PLEASE PLEASE join in whenI send out the LETTER TO PHILANTHROPICCLUBS. It will make my day, propel YL forward,and - humbly - make sure I can pay my rentnext month, which matters for this undertaking.

The website is worth visiting,really neat, now!

By the way:

All YL profits coming in through the cardgame etcserve to advance YL and youth leadership.

Most of them go into the YL Flow Fund.

The Flow Fund serves to invest in excellent value like> outstanding youth- and adult hero-led initiatives thatwe colaborate with,

> the YL Clans Community (t-shirts, printing supportfor those in very low income regions)

Major promoters to Philanthropic clubs, like our globalyouth leader networks friend, will be able to nominateprojects that shall benefit from the sums that hispromotions have generated for the YL Flow Fund.

It was his idea, and I really love it. This means thatpromoters can fully commit to the cause, withouthugely enriching themselves, but benefitting by em­powering projects and people they love - along YLbenchmarks of project quality and win-win benefits,of course. You will learn more about it, and the impactsas funds start flowing.

I'll get to you today, hopefully,with the LETTER to Philanthropic Clubs.
