Improve and enhance health, education and human services by integrating TimeBanking.

There are not enough public, private or philanthropic funds to pay the cost, at market prices, for all the educational and health care services needed to make good on President Obama's Inaugural promises.

For decades, the TimeBank community in the United States and thirty four other countries has been learning how to record, recognize and reward labor from a work force that is not recognized or valued by the GDP. What money does not value, TimeBanking does.

TimeBanking provides a tax-exempt, local medium of exchange that uses Time as a currency. One hour helping another (regardless of mainstream market value) equals one Time Credit. TimeBanking has proven capable of harnessing vast untapped capacity that the market does not value to address vast unmet needs.

Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fTBM_3sdwEto check out a new vid from someone with autism... it's entitled S#!T Ignorant People Say To Autistics.

Welcome! In my integrated, intentional, community-building efforts, I often find that videos are more compelling, more effective than any other form of communication. Rather than fill the video section of this site, I'll use this blog to share short descriptions of, and links to some of the best disABILITY related videos (and some text articles) from around the world. Many thanks to those who have shared their favorites with me, and please consider adding your discoveries!

Here are a few new entries (August, 2012). For those who were lucky enough to catch the Sprout Film Festival in Duluth, MN, you'll recognize this one... I have Anthony Di Salvo's blessing to post here and elsewhere. It's entitled, "One Question." Enjoy!
