"It is becoming more and more important in a world that is destructive and degenerating that there should be a place, an oasis, where one can learn a way of living that is whole, sane and intelligent".

            J. Krishnamurti

There can be little doubt that the world is in need of a complete revolution in human consciousness. Helping to bring that about, investigating if it is possible to bring about a different sort of human being, has been the concern of the Krishnamurti Schools since their inception. For Brockwood Park School in England, surviving financially and attracting sufficient appropriate students has always been a challenge, as Bill Taylor, points out in the previous newsletter. The school needs and deserves our support, and to this end KANZ is continuing its appeal to provide a scholarship that will help young people from NZ (1) attend Brockwood Park School. Following the success of our 2006/2007 scholarship we are now looking at the academic year 2007/2008

This appeal continues to be  greatly strengthened by the fact that the AG Trust (founded by Friedrich Grohe) has undertaken to match donations on a 50:50 basis (2).

 At the moment, a year's fees at Brockwood are approximately NZ$35,000, which might seem a lot in NZ values, but is very reasonable when compared to UK private schools in general. We have set a target of raising NZ$10,000. With the AG Trust's support, this would produce a scholarship of NZ$20,000 (3). We feel the target is realisable if subscribers to our newsletter have a feel for the great significance of Krishnamurti's teachings in the world today.

We see the advantages of a successful scholarship appeal as threefold:

a)      A young person from NZ would be enabled to receive the benefits of an education which is focused on the real roots of the world's problems.

b)      Brockwood Park School would receive vital financial support.

c)      Successfully creating a scholarship in a small country like NZ could act as an inspiration to Krishnamurti committees all over the world to do likewise. Just a handful of such schemes could significantly help in securing Brockwood's position.

So we humbly ask you to give generously to this appeal.

Donations will go exactly where intended; no administration costs will be deducted. The next newsletter will carry details of our progress, and will also invite applications on behalf of young people to take up the scholarship. (4).

 "It is the concern of these schools to bring about a new generation of

human beings who are free from self-centred action".
