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.)

2015 "I have a dream" speeches by children, and then parents inspired by children

Children and parents took their moments to stand at the podium and share a dream of the future as they dream/hope for it to be.  Here are some of the quotes of children.

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. each person began with his impactful words:
"I have a dream that..."


A Parent, Pamela    &    A Child, David


...One day --( because somewhere out there there are still a few slaves ) -- all  over the world everyone will have their own freedom.
(Lillian 7 years old)

...Everyone will unite and make a world without segregation. Everyone will have what they need and everyone will be kind to each other.
(Mita, 10 years old)

...Everybody will get to do anything they want to. And if any police kill black people, they will be arrested and have justice.
(David, 7 years old)

...Everyone will eventually unite as one world -- no such thing as countries. There will be no revenge. All people will be helpful and inspired.
(Timothy, 12 years old)

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.
