The Global Energy Parliament is organized by the
Every year, the Global Energy Parliament(GEP) holds an international session of Parliament. I was honored to be invited and attend the first session in India, in 2010, and then again in 2017. All other years I attended OL, via Zoom. For the past eleven years, I’ve been a proud volunteer, participant, and strong supporter of the GEP.
It was at the GEP, in Trivandrum, Kerala, that I learned first hand why so many people, from all parts of the world, fall in love with India, in spite of its huge population, over crowded cities, poverty, and pollution. It is because of its rich culture that goes back 10,000 years, and the spirit and passion of the people — young people in particular. More than any other culture, (in general) they have an exceptional attitude and desire to learn, work tirelessly, and master what ever they embark upon. Also, they express immense gratitude and appreciation for every opportunity or generosity that comes their way. Plus, they have strong family values, respect for others, and honor the role of the mother.
India is the ‘heart’ of the world, as is shown on a map. My time there was an indelible experience and inspiration like no other that will forever be in my heart.
