Holy Cross Centre Trust

Our latest edition of Edgar Cahn’s Letters from America has arrived. Here’s a quick exerpt:

“Time Banking is not just about meeting present needs. It is also how we shape the world we will leave behind. Just maybe, our time on this planet is something we hold in trust for our descendants.

Time Banking does not exist in a vacuum. There are problems that make it more difficult for some than for others to preserve their families, raise their children, create safe neighbourhoods, and build community. More and more children go into foster care, come home from school to an empty home, cope with drugs, cross the line into delinquency, and go to schools that lose 40% of those who enter. The problems don’t end with growing up: changes in the job market, lack of a living.”
