...Many scientists, me as well, would like to have influence on the decisions of their governments. As individuals we can hardly realise that goal. But, by joining our efforts through WIF we could eventually be more successful. The WIF's proposal to construct and operate the ORE-STEM Complex seems to be a right proposal in order to engage efficiently all nations in the development and the rational use of science and technology. Good education, especially good science education of the world population is indispensable for the solution of mankind's global problems. But, this is not an easy task...

One of the most efficient ways to combat poverty and other misery in large parts of the world is to provide information and education. What we really have to combat is misinformation and ignorance, illiteracy and superstition. And we can. There must be great emphasis on educating teachers throughout the world, in particular areas stricken by poverty. Convinve politicians that school education must be made obligatory and of course available for certain age groups. In fact, thinking of television to be a great tool for spreading information, about the world around us, to the adult population, is not at all a silly idea. In our programs for aid to the developing world, I think that encouraging the spread of television sets is an option to be considered. Just think of how it would encourage people to learn the languages of the developed world, and the benefits that could bring to them.
