Worth A Thousand Words

We love this photo. It shows two of our Humanity Project kids enjoying a spontaneous moment together. It was unplanned, unstaged, unrehearsed. And to us, it reflects the essence of the Humanity Project.

Take a moment and just give that photo a good look. One smaller boy offers his high five to a taller boy of a different race who looks a bit surprised. In reality, these two know each other — both are members of our Humanity Club at Pembroke Pines Charter Elementary School in Pembroke Pines, Florida. (They’re wearing gardening gloves after helping to plant our latest Humanity Garden.) Like all the kids in that club, they are bright and caring individuals. But that moment, that joining of hands … it suggests something we find encouraging. To us, that photo is saying, “Yes, we can all get along despite any differences we may have.” It’s a small tidbit of hope in a world that badly needs hope just now. We felt this photo was worth sharing with you for that reason. Perhaps you’ll want to share it with others …
