Investing in the Future

Have you viewed the YouTube Video, Did You Know?  It was updated for 2012 and can be watched at :
  

Did You Know 3.0 (Officially updated for 2012) HD

In this video it asks questions beginning with, “Did you know”.  Here are some of the questions:
  • China will soon be the number one English speaking country in the world?
  • 25% of India’s brightest and best youth is a number larger than all the youth in the United States?
  • ½ of what is learned in college by Freshman will be outdated by the time the young adult is a Junior?
  • We are preparing youth for jobs that don’t exist which will solve problems we don’t even know about with technologies that haven’t yet been invented?
  • There were 31,000,000,000 searches on Google last year?
  • There are 5 times the number of words in English today than there were when Shakespeare was writing?
  • In one newspaper issue today the reader gets more information that he/she would have had in a lifetime in the 1800’s?
The video ends with the question—So, what does it all mean?

For us at Entrusted Legacy it means that we need to be sure our youth have the positive role models and mentors they need to be able to develop the grit and resiliency needed to meet these challenges.  Entrusted Legacy has partnered with Consult 4 Kids to provide a comprehensive staff development program tailored for their needs.  Learn more about us by visiting our website at www.entrustedlegacy.org and trust your legacy with us.
