Anuj Singhal, a participant in Landmark Education’s Team, Management and Leadership Program in Vancouver, has created a project to bring a new context of possibility to the media, going beyond what he was ever capable of doing himself.
The game created by Fanny Veliz as her project in Landmark Education’s Team, Management and Leadership Program is titled ‘Homebound’, which is the name of her upcoming feature film about Latinos in America. The film takes place in a small town in Texas and is a story of love, loss and family. Veliz says it will alter the way Americans think of the Latino community.
Before the program, Veliz reports, she didn’t think others would share her vision of the film, and tried to do everything herself. Now she has a full team of people to make her film vision a reality – see below.

In Landmark’s Team, Management and Leadership Program, Mercersberg, Pennsylvania doctor Elizabeth George created a project to inspire others to live healthy lives.
George relates that she had little success trying to fight obesity by convincing and controlling her patients, so she instead created MACWell to get her whole town involved in promoting healthy living. Soon teens had created a fitness trail and farmer’s market, and town leaders joined her to help create business wellness programs and healthier school lunches, and a monthly radio show.
This story is about Javier Rojas, who is creating workshops for orphans out of his participation in Landmark Education’s Team, Management and Leadership Program.
Javier Rosas has always been in favor of children’s rights. In searching for a way to contribute, he found a foundation called “Aldeas Infantiles SOS”, (Villages for Infants) founded in the 50’s, after the 2nd World War. Herman Gmeiner, an Austrian-born man, had been given the task of creating and founding a village for homeless children who lost their parents as a result of the war. Over the years and while being present to his surroundings, Gmeiner realized that there were children on the streets as well as abused children, so these villages were growing and expanding. Currently these children are found in 132 countries. Read more

Charity foundations around the world provide a means for people to contribute monetary donations that can make a profound difference in a vast number of areas. The causes being promoted include poverty, better education, homelessness, domestic abuse, animal rescue programs, and a myriad of health issues. Bryan Marks, a participant in Landmark Education’s Team Management and Leadership Program from Los Angeles, believes that on a fundamental level, everyone wants to contribute somehow to address these issues. However, he says, the average person believes they cannot afford to contribute. And even if they could believe that a few pennies a day would make a difference, how do they chose which organization to donate to? How do they know which organization will really use their hard earned money to make a difference? Read more
