Ethics For Young Humans

Through ETHICAL community, young humans empower their ethical development, create life-long friendships, and stand up with care and courage for a GOOD WORLD through action. At Ethical Culture, where the cool-ness factor values KINDNESS and DEED, children bring out the best in one another, and thereby themselves... (variation on a quote by founder, Felix Adler.)

Meeting students in Afghanistan












Ethical Friends of all ages helped Launch the Accelerating Education Initiative (AEI)'s 
Program in Afganistan  with simultaneous broadcast online world wide via Google Hangout on Air.   
on Dec. 7th at 12:30pm at NYSEC. 

Visit charityhelp.org to support the project of your choice.




Here is a short overview of the AEI:

CharityHelp’s Accelerating Education Initiative is designed to help schools benefit from the rapid growth of free digital educational information and low cost communication technologies.  Since this initiative leverages several major global trends and can be implemented by many organizations simultaneously around the world, we feel the positive social impact of this initiative could become very substantial.  To learn more about it, please see this short video:
We have been active in Afghanistan for more than 10 years and started by supporting orphanages through our partner, the Afghan Child Education and Care Organization (AFCECO).    About 4 years ago, we formed Think Renewables to generate ongoing support for CharityHelp International.  Think Renewables started with creating and selling solar powered computer stations and then more recently, developed a line of  Conferencing eStations.

Brain is a branching Tree




Our brains are growing thought branches!

We are thinking about trees and the cycle of breath.


We breathe in the gift from the tree.
We breathe out the gift to the tree.
We breath in gratitude.
We breathe out generosity.

Ethical Body Song

Sing our new song with Lillian and Marifer!  Here are the words:
Ethical Body Song
by Audrey Kindred
inspired by study of NVC: Non-violent Communication

My head and my heart
        help my hands make choices
My thoughts and my feelings
        live deep inside of me.

My choices
        start inside of me
But other people see
        the actions that I make with my body.

My words-n-moves
        can hurt-or-help
But what other people feel
        Are the choices that my voice and my moves make REAL.
