I am reaching out to all of my wonderful customer friends. As many of
you know, I have been working with homeless, educationally
disadvantaged and at-risk kids for many years, employing the teachings
of gratitude, service, connection to the web of life and its/our healing
of which you all are very familiar.
We know that children need
to practice caring for others and expressing gratitude for those who
care for them and contribute to others’ lives. Studies show that people
wh
o are in the habit of expressing
gratitude are more likely to be helpful, generous, compassionate, and
forgiving—and they’re also more likely to be happy and healthy.
I have been given a unique opportunity - that is to open "The
Earthkeepers Enrichment Center" within the walls of an elementary school
in New Hampshire. I am so close to making this happen. Your support
means so much to me. This can be a model for the future of mainstream
enrichment for kids around the globe.
We don’t make children happy when we simply enable them to be receivers
of kindness. We escalate their feelings of happiness, improve their
well-being, reduce bullying, enrich their friendships, and build peace
by teaching them to be givers of kindness. We can bring
about a more peaceful, kind and healthy world for us all by making this enrichment program as mainstream as art, music and physical education in our schools.
If you’ve helped spread the
word about my project to potential supporters, thank you! If you
haven’t, please consider forwarding my campaign link to others and
sharing my campaign with your friends on Facebook. If you can make a
financial contribution, I thank you with all my heart and soul.
Learning
to be caring is like learning to play a sport or an instrument. Daily
repetition makes caring - for the Earth and for each other - second
nature. Learning gratitude similarly involves regularly practicing it. There's no better place than right at school! Let's do this!
