RE: SHAPE YOUR FUTURE PROJECT
We understand that until the spring of 1999, you are collecting names of outstanding
people and musicians who could help make the world free of war and nuclear weapons.
You will be contacting the people to ask them to respond to the hopes of young
people who have nominated them. We
look forward to the advice that they give and the music that they write. We also
look forward to the TV shows and concerts, Satellite links, books, CDs, music cassettes,
and CD-Roms that you will produce from this project. We wish you great success!
The following are names of people in whom we have confidence and who we think can give
advice on how to make the world free of war and nuclear weapons. We chose each name
by consensus in our class.
