Psychological Boost

Lots more folks are learning a little more information each month about the Humanity Project, partly through our free monthly email newsletter as well as our podcasts and blogs. Learning about who we are, what we do, where we’re going. As this happens, we’re definitely finding that our group is attracting a diverse collection of bright, involved people. Increasingly, this includes psychologists. So we’re very pleased that the Florida Psychological Association, Broward Chapter, is running an article about the Humanity Project’s anti-bullying efforts in its current newsletter. Our work includes an original anti-bullying program for elementary school kids. Empirical evidence shows our program really works. We hope many more psychologists will want to meet us personally in the weeks ahead -– and ultimately become involved directly with the Humanity Project. We’re genuinely grateful that this distinguished professional organization now has placed the Humanity Project on its radar screen. Many thanks to Dr. Heather Jordan Clark and Dr. Amy Danser, newsletter co-editors. Perhaps we might suggest that you folks consider a newsletter article about our blog article about your newsletter article??
:-)) Just kidding ... (BTW, if you want to receive our fun, informative and FREE email newsletter each month, just email us at rsk@thehumanityproject.com. Put “newsletter” in the subject line and you’ll get this month’s issue emailed back to your return email address. See? Some things in life ARE free!! Thx!)

Happy Holidays!

We’ve been very busy since our highly successful Thousand Youth March for Humanity. That’s why there’s been no new blog since then. We’re creating a new monthly email newsletter that we hope to send out to members and supporters within the next few days. We’re meeting with potential new sponsors for exciting upcoming projects. And most of all, we’re working on those projects. One of these is our in-school anti-bullying program, which will go into South Florida elementary schools starting in early 2009. The other … well, shhhh! It’s a secret for now. We’ll make an announcement soon about one of the boldest ideas yet for The Humanity Project. For now, please accept our thanks for your support during 2008 – and our fondest hopes that each of you enjoys a great holiday season and healthy, productive 2009! Happy Holidays from everyone at The Humanity Project!

Children’s March A Huge Success!

The Thousand Youth March for Humanity brought together more than 1,300 students by official estimates, from kindergarten through college, along with some 500 or more adults. We all united in downtown Fort Lauderdale on Sunday, November 16 – a picture perfect day! Our message was simple: “We want no bullying around!” We delivered that message loud and clear, with original songs and poetry slams and dance and great speeches of hope. To our knowledge, this event was a first anywhere in the United States.

It’s just one example of what The Humanity Project is all about: Finding practical ways to help fulfill human potential, such as stopping bullying. Listen for our next podcast, at the end of this month, which will help explain more fully what we’re really trying to accomplish. This group is not New Age, not religious. Our efforts are practical and our ideas are rooted in realities we all would recognize in our individual lives. Stay tuned for that program. But for now, thanks to everyone who helped make The Humanity Project’s Thousand Youth March for Humanity such a powerful anti-bullying message.
