Leaders of Tomorrow

David Suzuki turned 80 years old this week. Robert Bateman will be 86 in two months, and Thich Nhat Hanh will be 90 later this year. So many leaders, true leaders, are coming to the end of their lives. Replacing them will not be easy.

Silent River Kung Fu’s Pandamonium is teaching tomorrow’s leaders the value of empathy and respect. Leadership is about bringing us together. It is about respecting the world we share, and taking responsibility for its welfare.

“An educational system isn’t worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn’t teach them how to make a life.” - David Suzuki (b. 1936)
