That is a great question, Mary. Things are not always what they appear at first glance.

<p>Hi Franis,</p>
<p>I'm so sorry to have taken so long to reply to your questions... Somehow I missed your post.</p>
<p>The "voting" you're referring to was done as part of the process during the March Community Cafe because there was such varied conversation here about a topic - one clear topic didn't emerge for us to develop, so we decided to take the four main topics being discussed and let whoever showed up for the March Cafe make a decision about what we should address that…</p>
<p>Hi Franis,</p>
<p>I'm so sorry to have taken so long to reply to your questions... Somehow I missed your post.</p>
<p>The "voting" you're referring to was done as part of the process during the March Community Cafe because there was such varied conversation here about a topic - one clear topic didn't emerge for us to develop, so we decided to take the four main topics being discussed and let whoever showed up for the March Cafe make a decision about what we should address that day.</p>
<p>So, I'm afraid there is no place to go to vote for April's topic. We'll decide it on the call tomorrow morning, since there hasn't been much conversation here about it.</p>
<p>The graphic recording for March is with the rest of the story in <a href="http://www.theworldcafecommunity.org/forum/topics/online-community-cafe-march" target="_blank">StoryNet</a> (that's where all the Word Cafe stories are - sometimes you will see a link to those stories that are specifically about the online community Cafes here in this group, but the stories are always posted in StoryNet).</p>
<p>As for a search box on the site - it's on every page at the top, far right of the red bar you'll see across the top of the page.</p>
<p>I hope that was helpful! I look forward to seeing you tomorrow in the community Cafe!</p>
<p>Warmly,</p>

<p>Amy, at the March 2011 Comm. Cafe, there was a mention of a place where I could "vote" on what the topic would be for upcoming conversations. Can you give me the link to that page so I can cast my vote for April's Cafe topic? I'm having a hard time finding it on this site. Also, I'd love to see the graphic recording for March's topic.</p>
<p>Somehow I'm missing finding a general "search" box for the site's topics too...does it exist? Thanks in advance!</p>

How does conflict sustain the poverty cycle? How can we teach children more peaceful ways of interfacing with the world and the individuals in it? How can world cafe contribute to raising the next generation of problem solvers?

What is the role of education in ending poverty? What does the next generation need to know to address this challenge in their lifetime? Whose job is it to fund equitable education for all? If food is related to poverty what do schools need to be teaching children about food production, nutrition, ecology and personal relationships with food? Who will teach the teachers?

Dear all, I am looking forward to our next online world café. I am very interested in the art of hosting community and what we can do to help it live up to its full potential. What kind of initiatives are already out there, where people from the community connect to each other locally? What do e.g. these conference calls give to you? What meaning do you find in this community of art of hosting practitioners? I´d be happy to explore these questions with you, because I know for myself, that I…

What meaning do you find in this community of art of hosting practitioners? I´d be happy to explore these questions with you, because I know for myself, that I like this community so much, and I always get good energy from it.

<p>Oh these ideas are so JUICY!</p>
<p>I especially like your question, Viktor...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>An issue that is hitting me quite hard right now personally is health care in the US... my youngest sister just died. She wasn't feeling well - nothing serious, she thought, but she felt she couldn't go to the doctor to see what was wrong because she didn't have health insurance or the money to pay for a doctor's visit. By the time the pain was so bad she couldn't wait any longer, it was too late.…</p>

<p> </p>
<p>So if I were to demand change in my country, it would be for affordable health care.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But if I were to demand change in the world as a whole, because the true need goes far beyond my personal tragedy and any one country, I would demand healthy conditions for all life - clean water, food, shelter, work, education, and yes, health care, for all people.</p> The link for that conversatio…tag:www.theworldcafecommunity.org,2011-02-26:3306069:Comment:378332011-02-26T11:06:25.414ZFranis Engelhttp://www.theworldcafecommunity.org/profile/Franis
