…… On achieving an understanding of the essence of these universal values and their benefit to all of humankind, our society can become more unified to find ways of implementing and integrating them into our everyday lives. Surely, great differences of opinion will exist on the best incorporating mechanisms of these values into our communities. However, the conflicts will be steeped in a spirit of unity, discovering ways that can benefit all, a kind of spirit which lives by, “More for you means more for me.”….. (from page 147 of the book “Jumbo Jumble”) Author’s Comment: In this passage, the word “essence” is of the essence. The various terms which are used to define various universal ideals may have different meanings and connotations across different societies and cultures. However, our deep-down needs as human beings are very similar. Striving to understand those needs and create spaces where they can be met in our everyday lives is something each of us can do—and is the kind of atmosphere which JAMBO strives to create.

What Jambo Members Are SayingDavid Howenstein founded Jambo Japan in 1996. A man with many ideas on bettering the natural/human environment but also unsure how to implement them in a way to make a sustainable organization, he tried various courses of action throughout the years. Like many of you, he encountered frequent frustrations finding that the vast majority of his efforts ended in failure. However, through trial and error, he came upon a recipe for success in his adopted home. |
