tireless, lifelong efforts
tireless, lifelong efforts

seems like a mantra, but that is how a pr(public relations)-machine works. Repeat the keypoints, play with numbers.
sucks somehow. wonder how this honouring business works. authorities had 30 years time to praise the master. as we all know, we had a similar series of honouring in the beginning of his "mission". so some people at that time knew how to stir the propaganda machine as well. has anybody here experience with this?
maybe jean-michel?
i could imagine it this way. you contact the chosen authority, praise the selfless work, ask where some donation could eventually go, and that is the main thing. somehow te politicians have to keep the welfare going. since the governments are retracting from social engagement worldwide,laying it into "private" hands. it must have some advantages for those who give.

BTW playing with numbers 1,4 million people adressing and $120.000 donating, doesn't look too good. maybe elan vital needs some advice? for a reasonable charge?
