It’s relationships, not programs, that change children. A great program simply creates the environment for healthy relationships to form between adults and children. Young people thrive when adults care about them on a one-to-one level, and when they also have a sense of belonging to a caring community.
Let them at all times concern themselves with doing a kindly thing for one of their fellows, offering to someone love, consideration, thoughtful help.
Blessed is one . . . who adds to the happiness of another.
It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations.

A
little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference.
One must care about the world one will never see.
A candle loses none of its light by lighting
another candle.
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a
single minute before starting to improve the world.
Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.
