We pulled off a mini-miracle at the South Asian Youth Conference (an annual coming together of young leaders for a peaceful region). It was a call to organize offline events and connect online - taking the entire conference experience (including workshops, drafting of documents and hanging out as alumni) online WITH offline face-time in each country. So at 'zero cost', we had people from places as diverse as Swat Valley (in Pakistan) to Colombo talking and attending sessions. We had offline events in Karachi, Mumbai, Kabul and Kathmandu (the last two are yet to get back to us with details!) And we had a collective declaration with people from various countries chipping in - all this, only responding to a pure call to dedicate a day to thinking about South Asia :) It was a WOW feeling - that we now have technology plus soul force to organize ourselves and include way more people so much more effortlessly....possibilities as we step into the future seem endless! :)
