I've just been reading the New York Times section in the Observer. It had pretty much the best leading article I could have hoped for...'A Nuclear-Free Vision' and a large image of two people sawing down a mushroom cloud.
The article went on to say how Obama's vision of a world free of nuclear weapons is influenced by his time at University and how he was a young campaigner. The young Obama didn't go along with the prevailing view that the world could keep on building more and more weapons - he was calling for disarmament. For me, it's great to see how what some people would have called Obama's 'youthful idealism' is now a major influence to a massive worldwide campaign. It's great to have hope.
This weekend I was talking to another talented young person. Eldee creates really good animations - this one is great! - and he's only 13. He's now working on a STOP THE SPREAD animation for the campaign. I can't wait to see it!
