Since 2004, IDU has produced many interesting projects, besides the 80 somewhat articles on IDUBLOG on Blogger and its flagship website iduidu.ning.com that published the site's key beliefs in "6 Steps to Happiness" in both english and chinese.
Some of the highlights are :
Valentine Day Song in 2007 on youtube: THE REAL V-DAY - EMILIO & JIN
And as Kiva celebrates their 16th year of helping people around the world get micro-loans for their livelihood and entrepreneurship, we are happy
to join in that celebration as the Idu Group is currently ranked 118th in amount of loans provided on Kiva as of this post on December 2020-having participated actively since 2009, and privileged back then to have met and consulted their early founders on various issues. We certainly hope for more rapid, positive evolutions in that industry, to the point where not just loans are given out, but mentoring/education/solution structuring/startup incubations/networking, and eventually to Coworking/Coliving based on industry/passion/cause, in every village or city.
Hopefully, we will get to the point where Everyone being able to not just
"help themselves"
but also super enough to
"help others help themselves"
which is the geometric Community solution
of "passing it forward"
towards solving everything.
For those curious, Idu original first slogan back in 2005 was actually
"helping people help themselves", which was also our mission back then.

to focus on Effectiveness on the average busy ADD audience.who hates reading
AND also
Developing a STRICT blue print where the public can reference the issues needed to create
A Perfect World
Of peace, harmony and true happiness.
