To help in our revolution we have mentors – many mentors.
Everywhere that you look there are mentors who can inspire you. Here is one that I found last night
Where else might you look to find a mentor, a muse, a person who can inspire, somebody who can share and encourage others?

The Commonwealth Jubilee Time Capsule

Taking the form of a people’s history, people from all over the Commonwealth will make entries relating to their lives, communities and nations over the last 60 years.
Capsool is working in partnership with the Royal Commonwealth Society to create this unique project.
The time capsule will exist in a number of forms;

Commonwealth’s history- A unique digital gift for The Queen
The capsule and archive are one of a number of official projects being run as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

A digital, online time capsule made up of content generated by people around the Commonwealth. It will be presented to Queen Elizabeth II.
Contributors will submit content relating to one of the 21,915 days between the Queen’s ascension in 1952 and the Jubilee in 2012.
It will be a large and diverse archive about people, places and events.
Initially, it will be focused upon a network of schools but will later be open to wider public participation.
This is a project that will help to narrow the digital divide and demonstrate the potential of online education tools when used on a safe, global platform.
THE CAPSULE… Contributors will be asked to contribute photos and video, or write a story reflecting what happened in their family, community or country on a particular day in the last 60 years.
Prizes will be awarded for the best regional entries, the best under 25 entries and in overall categories, before the sealed time capsule is presented to The Queen later in 2012
The material will be safely secured online in the Commonwealth Jubilee Archive, and offline in teaching materials for schools created by the RCS.
The capsule will be built in the Capsool.com digital time capsule system.
At Capsool.com we are building the world’s time capsule, one person and one story at a time. We focus on the emotional connections between people, reflected in the media we create around our life events.
All life is here. And it won’t be forgotten.
It is a unique social network that adds in the crucial elements that all the rest have forgotten. Time and emotion.
