Dear Friends,
Children of the Earth knows the actions of today's youth will shape the future. We have been pioneering positive change for over 25 years. We recognize, train, and facilitate youth in 60 countries. We have created a community of spiritual activists who will become problem solvers, innovators, and unique contributors to a manifestation of world peace. Children of the Earth exists because of you.
NEW LEADERSHIP
President Nina Meyerhof, Ed.D., has been joined by three expert strategists with strong corporate and philanthropic backgrounds. Our team is primarily focused on establishing a clearly defined infrastructure for a sustainable organization based on a Board of Trustees approved Strategic Plan. We welcome Neal Meier, Ph.D., as Director of Operations in Strategic Planning, Karam Chawla, a former CFO of IBM, as our Financial Advisor and Michelle Schenandoah as our Director of Development.
CoE IN ACTION
Training trainers in new leadership skills outlined in our handbook, Pioneering Spiritual Activism, is central to CoE's forward action. "Phase One" of our Train-the-Trainers Program conveying CoE's methodology, Reflect-Connect-Act, was conducted in September 2013 in Vermont. CoE will be offering one, three, and five day trainings throughout the world in 2014. Details will be available shortly in our newsletter and on our website. We need your support so that we can invest it in the world's children and youth. Please watch our CoE's video about our training program at: www.coeworld.org/training
PEACE IS POSSIBLE
One Peaceful Africa, based on this training and presently our Premier Project, coordinated by Princess Ukaga of Nigeria, is a call to unite young Africans in peace building, peace making, and peace living. This past September, CoE held an initial leadership gathering in Ghana. Participants from Ghana, Togo, Liberia, Uganda, and Nigeria have now gone back to their respective countries to catalyze new chapters, offer trainings, and inspire local community projects. They will convene with other CoE leaders for a One Peaceful Africa summit in Kenya in 2015.
BE A TORCHBEARER AND GIVE GENEROUSLY
It is time to come together in our communities around the globe to build a positive future by taking good care of the present. We are all one, a vast system in which life is intertwined and interdependent. Working to promote peace in ourselves and creating social action projects is CoE's way of laying the foundation for peace in the world.
DONATE NOW AND INVEST IN A BETTER WORLD
Wishing you blessings,
