Participate in a Virtual Program Launch!











Ethical Friends of all ages, 
Please Help Launch the Accelerating Education Initiative (AEI)'s 
Program in Afganistan  with simultaneous broadcast online world wide via Google Hangout on Air.   

Dec. 7th at 12:30pm, 5th floor, 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.

The morning of the People's Climate March

On September 21, 2014....
Ethical Families & Friends, please gather for People's Climate March
at NYSEC, located at the corner of 64th Street and Central Park West, NYC

We will march with the American Ethical Union (AEU).

Which will march with the community of Humanists
Which will march to the Religion & Spirituality Contingent
Which will march together in the People's Climate March!

"Humanists" gathered in front of NYSEC's building at 10:30 will be greeted by each other and Ethical leaders there. AEU encourages us to wear BLUE.  The young folks encourage us to dress up playfully with the earth's themes and bring awesome signage, etc. There are hopes for children/families to be front and center in the Ethical contingent.

The group will be guided forth on a mini-March of Humanists to a gateway site for the Climate March. Our gateway site is located at 58th street and 8th Avenue.  Here, we will join a diverse array of all other "groups of religion and spirituality" who will be waiting to file into the ever-larger Climate March in an organized and ordered fashion. There will be a multi-religious invocation offered here  which will include The representation of humanism, among many world-visions. 

Deed Club on 9/14/14:  Audrey, Isaiah, Terrie, Favio, Jenna, Cecilia

 There is no pressure on families and young ones in particular to last all day. Some things that would help: small snacks and water, song-games for walking, sharable games for waiting times, small notebooks or books for kids to process their experience. Any other ideas?

Here is a banner made by Teen Deed Club! 
Congratulations for awesome, sincere and creative collaboration!

The Deed Club group plus Nina!
