How do we combat our kids' growing sense that positive change faces impossible odds? At the Adora Svitak Foundation our goal is to give kids a sense of ownership over their own future and the future of the world. When we teach kids how to cultivate and market their own talents, we are teaching concrete skills while simultaneously building their communication skills and overall sense of self worth. When kids see that their efforts are helping to build a force of positive change, they have a sense that it's not impossible: that changing the world for the better doesn't always have to be plodding and deadly serious-it can be a fun and creative experience.

angle from redistribution of wealth, access, resources and opportunity--larger picture--to make the world a better place, peaceful place, safer place, from Bill Gates. who uses his creativity to build this massive giant enterprise to little guy like us, Bill Gates is devoting his time now to redistribute his wealth that he has accumulated through all these years, we (the kids) don't have to wait, we can start now by using our talents, creativity, imagination and hard work to make products to entertain, educate, inform, inspire and enlight people around us.

Our business model--to help children to achieve their desire to help others by helping them to bring out their talent, desire, to make finished products to feel accomplished, proud and confident.

these are just some rough idea

how to get kids invoved in

Holiday Foods

Holiday Foods
I am always struck by how obedient and non innovative many people are when it comes to Holiday Foods. I enjoy turkey once in a while, but it's not the only meat I cook during the holiday seasons. Since many people will be most likely eat turkey during the holiday here or there, I often opt out to cook something else instead, such as duck or fish.
The way people cook turkey has not been innovated much, except for the creation of fried turkey which is a bad idea for two reasons: health hazards and safety hazards. My mom has invented her own way to make turkey meat more appealing--she salts it and lets the cold wind do the job of sealing the flavor. It tastes different and quite good.
Turkey meat is pretty mild and it requires much ingenuity on our part to make it irresistible by adding different spices and flavor to it, however, most people are stuck in a time warp. For their entire life time, they only have to try to cook how their parents cooked before. They never venture out to do anything else. I am calling for a revolution during the holiday seasons to experiment different ways to cook foods and different ways to eat them as well, be risky, be innovative and have fun with your new-found recipe.

Adora's interview

Here you can listen to Adora's interview on ABC Austrialia radio.

An eight-year old who's smarter than us - 02/06/2006Adora Svitak is 8. She's written 300 short stories and a book. She's been invited to book fairs in Europe and Asia, she types up to 90 words per minute, reads three books a day, and wants to be an archeologist. Both Adelaine and myself felt like great under-achievers just talking to her. We had her live from her home in Redond, WA.
