2 Pennies to Sense the Worth

Posted on Mar 3rd, 2009 by 2SenseWorth™ : 2SenseWorth™ International 2SenseWorth™
To Sense the Infinite Worth in a Child and Act on That Knowledge Will Transform the World in a Single Generation...

To Act and Join - Go Here: http://www.2senseworth.org/2senseworth_lp02.html

This is a direct invitation for you to play a vital role in the positive transformation of this world. It begins by manifesting the desire already planted deeply within you for that better world.

There is a practical way to for this to happen. It happens by taking our youngest generation and insuring that they have the resources needed to attain their highest human potential. We believe that by doing this - in the span of a single generation - we can have radical, positive global transformation. This isn't change that happens overnight, but it's change that happens one child, one family, one community, state, province and nation at a time - perhaps in that order but definitely with that kind of reach.

Your investment in the positive transformation of this world will go towards "boots on the ground" efforts now underway to dramatically and positively alter the lives of children in need and at risk. Our commitment to you is absolute financial transparency; and via regular reports on our website, you'll see exactly how the totality of everyone's 2 penny contribution was used. We have established an operational efficiency that exceeds current non-profit industry standards. We're able do this because the founding board members of 2SenseWorth are composed of artist-entrepreneurs, business and science professionals. Therefore, you can be assured that your small investment of two pennies a day will have a maximum positive impact on the lives of children. What's more, our 501c3 application is now pending, and our law firm - that specializes in non-profits - has advised us that the IRS will approve our status, so your small contribution will be tax deductible this year.

But in the end you may wonder what can my two pennies do to change the life of a child? You'll be astonished at the power of small change to create great change. Two cents multiplied by millions of giving souls equals an amazing transformation – a transformation of magnitude that we will not fully grasp until it unfolds. Your intention to do something positive is as much a transformer as your two cents. Witness the power that two cents is worth:

* 3.90 (2 pennies a day for 195 days) equals a meal-a-day for 17 days and clean water for 6 months.

* $7.40 (2 pennies a day for a year and 5 days) equals clean water for a year and a meal-a-day for a month.

* $7.40 (2 pennies a day for a year and 5 days) equals 5 weeks of a meal-a-day or you will feed 5 children for a week.

* $22.20 (support 3 D.I.R.C. articles at 2 pennies a day each) equals a net for the bed of a child, plus a meal a day for two months.

* $22.20 (support 3 D.I.R.C. articles at 2 pennies a day each) equals 111 meals: Feeds 10 kids for 11 days.

* $22.20 (support 3 D.I.R.C. articles at 2 pennies a day each) equals clean water for a year, a mosquito net, and a meal-a-day for two kids for a month.

* $51.80 (support all seven D.I.R.C. articles at 2 pennies a day each) equals 259 meals: Feed 37 kids for a week or feed 7 kids for 5 weeks.

* $51.80 (support all seven D.I.R.C. articles at 2 pennies a day each) equals vaccines, 3 years of clean water, and a meal-a-day for 2 months

* $51.80 (support all seven D.I.R.C. articles at 2 pennies a day each) equals a mosquito net, 1 year of clean water, and a meal-a-day for 4.5 months

Donate 2 cents per hour for a year…$175.20 (Health, shelter, food, and water). And give a child vaccinations, a mosquito net for their bed, a year of clean water, and a meal-a-day for over a year (396 meals).

Donate 2 cents per hour for a year….14.60 per month (food and water) And give a child every month: clean water and two meals a day.

Donate 2 cents per minute for an hour a day for a year…$438 (health, shelter, food, water for a family) - And help a single mom and her two children by supplying vaccinations for both children, and for the whole family - mosquito nets for their beds, a year of clean water, and a meal-a-day for over a year (387 meals each).

Donate 2 cents per minute for an hour a day for a year…$438. And give 5 kids mosquito nets, clean water, and 1-2 meals a day( 380 meals each) for a year.

Donate 2 cents per minute for an hour a day for a year…(36.50 per month). And give 3 children every month: clean water and 2 meals-a-day.

Why 2SenseWorth™? This is worth reading...

Posted on Feb 28th, 2009 by 2SenseWorth™ : 2SenseWorth™ International 2SenseWorth™
Let me tell you the true story of an at-risk little boy I know who grew up in difficult circumstances... the kind of child that 2SenseWorth was created to help.

This boy's father was an abusive alcoholic who had repeatedly beat his mother, even when she was pregnant with his brother and sister.   When the boy was three, his mother, Maria, made the decision to leave her husband's abuse.  With no where else to go she took her children and fled to a relative's home.  The father tracked them down, and while the boy's mother, infant brother and sister hid in a closet, the father in a violent rage, brutally stabbed the boy's uncle to the edge of death... Just as his father was about to open the closet door ready to further wield a blood stained knife on an innocent family, the police arrived.

With the father in prison, life didn't get any better.  The boy's mother was disabled from a near fatal illness and could not work.  With three children Maria was forced to accept public housing in a crime ridden, inner-city housing project.  They struggled greatly.  Food Stamps were not enough to pay for the basic subsistence needed.  There were often days when meals were missed.  In their first Christmas, with bare cupboards, Maria contacted The Salvation Army, who literally saved them.  They brought food, clothes and insured that the little boy and his siblings had their first real Christmas.   Still, the most formative years of the boy's childhood were spent witnessing drug deals, child abuse, gun crimes, assaults and people being beaten bloody and unconscious.    Almost every day at school the boy found himself in a fight.   It was a childhood colored more by the stress of survival than the embrace of security.

At the age of ten the boy and his family were given further housing assistance and were able to rent a small one bedroom home in a better neighborhood.  Because of the strength of his mother's love and guidance, the boy stayed in school, graduated and was offered an academic scholarship to UCLA, and even earned his Bachelors Degree in Television and Film production.   He went on to become an independent filmmaker successfully creating hundreds of film, television and multimedia productions that focused on the most meaningful aspects of our human journey. 

I can now humbly say that boy was me. 

With the help of my business partner, Keith Myers, and a talented board of directors, I founded 2SenseWorth because I know that if we are to truly transform this world, no child should have to endure what I experienced and witnessed while growing up.  And yet, I was very fortunate.  I had a strong mother who resolved that what was happening outside our project's apartment wouldn't happen within me.   For those kids at risk, who didn't have the guidance I had, they need someone out there willing to do something meaningful and effective on their behalf.

And doing that something is what 2SenseWorth is about.   2SenseWorth gives virtually everyone and anyone the opportunity to play a vital role in the positive transformation of this world - by first transforming the lives of children in need.   And all it takes is a basic commitment of only 2 pennies a day.  That's it!  No matter who you are, employed or unemployed, we are talking about the ability for everyone to participate in giving 2 pennies towards positive global change that is attainable.  

Go to the NEW, www.2SenseWorth.org website and commit your gift of 2 pennies per day to change the lives of kids who are now enduring what I experienced, and even much, much worse.   Take the time to read what we're about, and especially learn what the power of 2 cents per day can do... You will be amazed!  If you, like millions of others, have a spare 2 pennies lying around, I guarantee there's no better way to put that small change into action - for lasting positive change in our time.

Project Generation NOW

Posted on Aug 5th, 2008 by 2SenseWorth™ : 2SenseWorth™ International 2SenseWorth™


The new 2SenseWorth.org site has launched.    (http://www.2senseworth.org/)   Admittedly, it is still an infant and the links are basic... But our new homepage is a vital first step.    

The full 2SenseWorth.org site is now being developed....  It will be a carefully planned transformational portal designed to unite 2SenseWorth frontline leaders across the globe.  2SenseWorth.org will be available in multiple languages, and will exist as a very real, "global broadband village" -  from which aid can be launched quickly to wherever the need is the most desperate.   

2SenseWorth.org will of course be an enterprise level site.   But it will employ the most advanced database technology available today.   We plan for its functionality to leverage cutting edge, artificial intelligence protocols that - when brought to full potential - will generate a degree of processing power approaching the very edge of consciousness itself.   There will be more announced later on how this database will work to make transformational change a reality.  

But for today what we have is a pretty home page for the curious who'll click on the simple links that will lead them here  -  at least for the present and near future.    And that's exactly what we want to happen.  

Also, along with the launch of our new homepage, we are officially announcing the first major media campaign for 2SenseWorth that you will help lead....  This campaign is part of something we call Project Generation NOW.    

Project Generation NOW is loosely based on the metaphysical concept of the universal, eternal NOW that authors like Eckhart Tolle have so eloquently brought to the forefront of collective consciousness.   

But rather than discuss the spiritual implications of the meaning of "now", let's just simply get down to earth with it.  The first thing I'd want to know is who belongs to Generation NOW?   Baby Boomers?   Pre-baby boomers?  Gen Xers?   Gen Y's?     

The answer is all the above.   No matter how old you are... YOU are a member of Generation NOW.   Generation NOW breaks through the illusory divisions and duality of multiple generations.   We are all Generation NOW.   So in working towards radical transformation for the next generation, we can't help but experience that transformation for ourselves as well.  Think of it as another kind of enlightened self interest.  :-)   By doing positive good for others, we are doing positive good for ourselves... Now. 

And right "Now", I'm inviting you to take a collective first step in enlightened self interest for Project Generation NOW.  2SenseWorth would be privileged to have you be one of our directors for the first series of national commercials designed to launch the concept of 2SenseWorth to the American public.   

Here's all you have to do:  Take your video camera and find a young member of Project Generation NOW (son, daughter, niece, nephew, etc. - any child between 2 and 17), point the camera at the star (you can be handheld or use a tripod) and have him or her answer this simple question:     

What do you want the world to be like when you grow up?    

It's that easy.  For a younger child, you may need to rephrase the question a little so they better understand it.    But one thing we strongly discourage is putting words in a youngster's mouth.  Trust me, we've been doing this a long time and we'll know if that happens - and unfortunately it will make for a completely unusable take...  So for the sake of getting the child on the air, and in your own enlightened self interest, simply allow the answers to come from the purity of the little one's heart's vision.   :-)    For this to work authenticity is key.

When you shoot that brief response... I kindly ask that you to send it to us here at our Los Angeles area Vision4Media post production studio.   Along with the tapes I'll request that you include a basic talent release so we can use the image of the child you taped...  We'll soon make the talent release available on the 2SenseWorth.org site as a downloadable PDF that you can print.  Also include your name, address, contact telephone and email information.    Mail those tapes to:  

Project Generation NOW
c/o Vision4Media, Inc.
633 South Brea Blvd.
Suite 205
Brea, CA   92821  

We will use the best submissions, musically score them, add effects, titles, and a professional voice over if needed.   We will assemble all these elements in our digital post production bays and create several thirty second and one minute PSA's that we plan on airing nationally, in the months of October, November and possibly even December.  Vision4Media has an ongoing relationship with a national network that has agreed to air our non-profit promotional productions.    

In case you're interested in who you're trusting these submissions to, Vision4Media is a Los Angeles based film, television and Internet production company with a simple mission statement.   We create media that enriches society.  The principals of Vision4Media have agreed to use all their resources to launch 2SenseWorth.   Our background includes creating hundreds of productions that have aired on all major networks, PBS national and cable networks like A&E, History, Nickelodeon, Bravo and others.   We have also created dozens of successful award winning and fund raising productions for renowned educational institutions and international non-profits like World Vision, Amnesty International and The Salvation Army.   If you're interested in a quick look at what we've created... watch our 2:44 online demo reel.   Go here:

VISION4MEDIA DEMO REEL

Oh, one more thing...  Given the avalanche of submissions we expect, please do your best to keep the tape limited to no more than 3 minutes of recording time...  Remember after we get through editing and polishing your directed material, we will not use more than 20 seconds of any given tape.   Also, please be aware we will be unable to return your tapes once they've been submitted... So if you want to keep what you shot, do make a copy for yourself first before sending it to us.    

Our plan is to start editing these spots from your material in the last week of August.. So we ask that all submissions be postmarked no later than August 22nd.   You can shoot on mini DV format, VHS or DVD.   If you are a professional we can accept Mini DVCAM, DVCPro, DVCPro50 and Betacam SP formats.    

Okay, so show us what you've got!   We're looking forward to your directorial debut that will help lead the launch of the most innovative and powerful global movement for positive transformational change in this Generation NOW!  

Thanks again for reading.   God bless.

Sincerely,
David

At this Moment...

Posted on Jul 31st, 2008 by 2SenseWorth™ : 2SenseWorth™ International 2SenseWorth™


At this moment... 

  • Nearly 2 children per minute are abused in the U.S...

  • More than four children die each day from abuse or neglect in the U.S...

  • Nearly 1 out of every 5 kids you know in the United States lives in poverty.   That's 12.8 million U.S. children - an amount nearly equivalent to the population of Illinois...


And in the world at this moment...

  • Every 20 seconds a child under the age of five dies due to unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation facilities...

  • Every 5 minutes, a child becomes infected with HIV and every 5 minutes, a child is orphaned because of HIV/AIDS....

  • A child dies of hunger-related causes every 5 seconds.


At this moment those are devastating facts to read.

And if you're like me, you mourn how we as a collective humanity have failed these little ones.  I won't tell you to stop feeling their pain.  Feel it, and let that empathy empower your next light-filled step.   Here's the good news:

You have the power to change this moment... forever...  Honestly, however, this change won't happen in a moment... But it can happen in our lifetime, which is the moment in history to which you've been called.

And by becoming a friend of 2SenseWorth you have already made that first step to answer this call.

We know that it is every child's divine right to be loved, cared for, and nurtured.  And ensuring that each child on this planet is completely embraced by love-in-action is why 2SenseWorth exists.   At 2SenseWorth we stake our mission on the belief that a child who knows love, will never trade it for hate.  

Children who know love will perpetuate that love with their own children and beyond.   And a world where all children know love is a world that can be transformed into the divine kingdom within us all.   For 2000 years eternal words of wisdom have echoed in our hearts - "the kingdom of God is within you."   Its manifestation is inevitable.  

But few realize that the second coming of hope has always been in our hands.  Let's you and I choose to make it start happening now by sowing the seeds of loving, radical change that will create a new heaven and a new earth - all in the span of a single generation.

When I ponder the task ahead, I'm reminded of an old Protestant saying - "Pray as though everything depends upon God, but work as though everything depends upon you."   There is a time for metaphysical contemplation on such things as the nature of divinity, our authentic selves, the challenges of ego, etc...  

But none of that means anything, if we allow the above statistics to continue.  A physical effort must be made to manifest the fruits of divine love in this physical reality - here and now.   In truth, I'd rather labor next to an atheist, putting love into practice, than a "content" believer of any faith tradition who does nothing.    The work ahead of us is practical.   And as such, is doable. 

To that end we are readying the launch of our first national 2SenseWorth media campaign... and you will be given the opportunity to be directly involved in this small, yet vital, initial step towards global transformation.  

And at that moment - You too can be love-in-action that results in a new generation of absolute light-filled transformation.

Watch for the announcement in our next blog entry.   And again thank you for reading.   God bless.


*A special thanks to Trisha Jackson (http://lightearth.gaia.com/) for her dedicated work, research and analysis in providing the statistics.   All are based on her careful study and statistical interpolation.  Citings can be provided for each listing, should anyone be interested.

2SenseWorth - Who Is Behind It?

Posted on Jul 23rd, 2008 by 2SenseWorth™ : 2SenseWorth™ International 2SenseWorth™
While 2SenseWorth is now in a critical legal, business and creative formation process, we thought we'd at least acquaint you with the origin of this initiative.   However, in a real sense, all of you who resonate with the mission to change the world with the power of a new generation of love, are also founders.   So perhaps we should be thought of more as the current resident "custodians" - We'll take care of things initially and like janitors, we'll do a lot of servicing and clean up, as we attract an army of peaceful warriors who will help lead 2SenseWorth, and bring so many more talents, resources and capabilities than we could possibly imagine.      :-)  

The founder of 2SenseWorth is award-winnning, independent filmmaker and director, David C. Bojorquez.    Having spent half his childhoood within an impovershed housing project, with a father in prison, and a gravely ill mother whose only support was food stamps that still didn't provide enough subsistence for  him, his brother and sister, David knows firsthand the reality of childhood deprivation and abuse.  His motivation to form 2SenseWorth emanates from a deep understanding and empathy for children who are confronted with egregious obstacles that create environments injurious to the soul's natural growth towards its greatest potential.    David created 2SenseWorth for one reason:  To generate radical positive change on the earth within the span of a single generation - by  fulfilling all the needs necessary for children to reach their highest potential and achieve full actualization.  

David has been creating film, video and television media since he was in high school;  or as he likes to put it - "back when dragons roamed the earth."  (Which means the late 70's)    David attended UCLA and graduated from California State University, Fullerton with a degree in Film and Television Communications.   His work has appeared on all major networks, PBS and national cable channels, like History, A&E, NFL Network, Nickelodeon, Bravo and Hallmark.    His productions have won numerous awards including over a dozen Silver, Gold and Bronze Tellys, Finalist at the New York Film Festival, and two Angel Awards.    He has produced, directed and edited hundreds of productions for broadcast and cable networks, Fortune 500 corporations and international non-profit fund-raising efforts.   More information on David can be found at http://www.consciousfilmmaker.gaia.com. 

David is joined by a team of board members comprised of some of the best people on earth - all committed to the change 2SenseWorth seeks.  Among them is  David's business partner and the co-founder of 2SenseWorth - Keith G. Myers - an award-winning motion picture producer, executive producer, as well as an expert in executive team organization and leadership, with extensive experience in board leadership positions within international philanthrophic organizations.  We will soon be posting blog entries introducing each of our team leaders.

David is also the founder of The Conscious Filmmaker initiative (TCF).  TCF is a non-profit endeavor founded to promote and produce film, television and interactive media that provokes transformative thinking for the enrichment and conscious evolution of society.   One of the pillars of TCF is the promotion of causes that will effectively leverage media that works to motivate conscious evolution.  The 2SenseWorth project is the largest of such efforts that TCF supports.   Yes, that's right - we know what you're thinking -   2SenseWorth will in fact have a huge, very unique media component to it....  We'll reveal more on that later.

Thanks for reading.   And we sincerely and deeply thank you for your belief and commitment.   And like you we absolutely know beyond belief, that whatever you visualize, and work unwaveringly towards - will manifest.   We know that the mission of 2SenseWorth is a "mission possible".   It was seeded in all our hearts long before we came here.   Stick with us.   It's going to be a wild, glorious ride!    God bless.
