11-Year-Old Grows Tons of Veggies for the Homeless

Yep, Raw Pleasure! Yeah, I reckon that I will get him interested in the Bedini when I get around to researching and learning more about it. I think it would be a great project for us to do together. Well, I know how to use liquid nails, so I should be right I guess! We are most likely going to still be here at Christmas time. The market is pretty slow here at the moment, so unless we sell really cheaply, it will take a while. We are not terribly desperate, so we will see what happens for a few more weeks.

It is a pretty awesome story isn't it. It was emailed to us by one of our friends in Canada. We have included it in our December newsletter that I was proofreading this morning. You should subscribe to our newsletter if you have not already done so. Wow, that is cool that an eleven year old can build a Bedini Monopole. If she can do it, then we certainly can. How far along are you? Nearly finished it? My daughter just turned eleven and she is pretty mindful of treating others nicely, but I don't think she would be motivated to do anything as great as this girl has. My son has taken up an interest in renewable energy too after learning about it at school. He is desperate for us to get solar power!

I think I'm already subscribed to your newsletter, but I'll have to check... Raw Pleasure isn't it? You've really got to raise that lad of yours on the Bedini Generator. It beats solar power hands down for power output per dollar spent & runs 24/7 by itself. He should be helping you to get motivated to build one! It could be his next school project. I haven't had time to do much actual physical work, but I've finished making my own spool, held together with Liquid Nails & filled the core with the Australian exact equivalent welding rods (also held in place by Liquid Nails which a fellow builder in WA swears by), which I posted the details of last month on the Yahoo Group. I've got all the magnet wire & am about to start my one thousand twisted pair turns of winding the wire on the spool. How's your big move going? Do you think it'll happen by Christmas?

It certainly makes you wonder what we do with our time doesn't it. She is still having to do her school work and is excelling at that also! We could all take a leaf out of her book, I think.

Yes Alice, sadly, you are right! It is time for us to get off our butts and do something for the greater good of humanity....maybe tomorrow!

ahahaha.. Alice so true

Yeah, I think she will be quiet successful in business or in charity work as she seems to have great leadership qualities and is the kind of person who attracts supporters and followers.

She certainly is a wonderful young girl. [em]thumbup[/em I am glad that you love China. I loved my time there too.

Wow, that is a great story too Jen. It amazes me how young children can be so inspired to do great things, often without leadership from their parents. It is great to see these kids doing great things as it means there is hope for the future. The world feels like it is balanced on a knife's edge at the moment. It is stories like this that can help to tip the world off onto the 'future is bright' side and not the 'world is ending' side. If you know what I mean.

It certainly is a very selfless thing to do. She is a very caring person who will go a long ay in life with that attitude. She deserves great things that young girl.

She truly is amazing isn't she. I bet we all wish that we had children with kind hearts and community spirit such as hers.

Yes, we could learn a lot I think. She is such an inspiration and has such a huge future ahead of her. It is great to see someone that young taking an interest in real farming instead of virtual farming like Farmville on Facebook like many youth are doing!

Yeah, I had forgotten about the toothbrush! I should have mentioned that in the discussion as well! I mucked up the vegetable as well, calling it a cauliflower instead of a cabbage! My kids are pretty smart, but they have nothing on her. I would be enormously proud if she was my child. She is destined for greatness I think! The world would be a better place if more children did things like this instead of playing computer games.

She certainly is an inspiration. Not many her age would give up their time for others!

Hi apples. It certainly is a rarity unfortunately. It is even rare to find adults in my generation who have done as much community work as she has in her short time on earth. It is like she has been here before and wanted to make up for the mistakes of her past life, so she is not wasting any time achieving great things in this lifetime!

She certainly is an inspiration. This story deserves to be shared worldwide I believe!

she certainly is very smart. Not only is she doing this great deed for the needy, but she is doing extremely well at her schooling and even invented a toothbrush!

It is rare that someone so young can be so sharing and caring. She obviously knows how to mange her time pretty well also.

She is amazing isn't she. To get so many people following her lead at such a young age is remarkable! I do not know of any kids doing anything like that either!

Wow, that is great that you know of more young people doing fantastic things. I hope that this future generation will be a lot more caring than ours and the past few have been. The world needs these types of people to become it's next leaders! It is a massive cabbage isn't it! I am not sure if it was grown organically or with the use of chemicals. Did you notice though that I called it a cauliflower in the discussion. My mind was not concentrating too hard at that time I think!
