Guantanamo by the Numbers

How much do you know about Guantanamo Bay? We hear bits and pieces. We know there are severe human rights abuses taking place. We heard about David Hicks. We know it's almost as close to hell you could ever get on earth. But what do the figures say? And what do they mean?

Check out Guantanamo by the Numbers and have a look at the factual reality. Why are there children in Guantanamo? And where did those who were related to 9/11 go? And why are there so many people in Guantanamo?

So what has happened to innocent until proven guilty? And when did it become ok for torture to be applied without a judicial process? Check out these stories from some detainees, who were captured, tortured and released without explanation.

This is what a world of fear looks like.    

                   

2012 - The Year of Coming Face to Face with Dreams.

Go confidently in the directions of your dreams, live the life you've imagined.
Henry David Thorleau

The thing about dreams is that they have the potential to always remain in our minds and our hearts. They are intangible. We have to make the decision to release them. To ignite their potential and set fire to the possibility of them. Dreams might fail us, but life might fail us too. The fear of disappointment and regret is worse that the fear of releasing the dream.

So this year is about releasing the dream. There will be late nights. There will be a lot of hard work. There will be disappointment for sure - that is a guarantee. But if we don't live our dreams, someone else will live them for us.




So go confidently into 2012 and face those dreams. Take them off the shelf. Dust them off and dance upon fear.


What change will you bring to the world?
