We will keep this blog post brief. But we wanted to let you know about something that excites us. Yes, the new Humanity Project t-shirts are in. We really do love them! To us, they seem chic and stylish. They also express something about the positive nature of our organization.

Today, a brief blog about an inspiring song. And about the young girl who wrote it based on her own painful experience. The Humanity Project now is joining forces with this girl, Megan Landry, a 15-year-old from Ottawa, Canada. Together, we’re hoping to further spread Megan’s powerful message of hope. You can hear the song called “Stronger” on the Humanity Project YouTube page and also watch the moving video Megan created to make her music come alive visually. This is the link to that video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRVlxBe35sY&feature=channel Megan’s song wasn’t written specifically to combat bullying but, as you will see, it offers compelling support to anyone dealing with bullying problems. The Humanity Project highly recommends it for kids who are being bullied because the song urges those kids to look beyond the immediate misery — and to rise above it.

(Editor’s Note: The Humanity Project has partnered with a respected nonprofit group in Egypt: the Egyptian Association for Educational Resources, or E-ERA. They are non-governmental and non-religious, working with such organizations as the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and Johns Hokins University. Our partnership involves a blog-and-photo exchange to promote better understanding of the humanity we all share. This is E-ERA’s fourth blog about their work to help young people, an article written especially for the Humanity Project by Aliaa Elaghoury of E-ERA. We feel it is especially appropriate on this International Women’s Day.)

Today, the Humanity Project announces the creation of an ambitious new program that brings the organization into an entirely different area of community involvement: teen driver safety. Funded by a generous grant from State Farm Insurance, the Humanity Project’s “I Care!” program will adopt a totally fresh approach to connect with our youngest drivers. Instead of the usual (and ineffective) scare tactics, “I Care!” will use teen-to-teen social connections to teach greater concentration and cooperation on the highways. The program’s full name is “I Care! Safe Driving with the Three Cs: Concentrate, Cooperate … Come Home Safe!”

The Humanity Project has an important mission, yes — but we also like to have some fun. And what better season of the year for laughter and joy than the holidays? We’re also an organization that focuses on sharing as a key tool to improve individual lives and society — that’s really what we’re talking about when we use the words “cooperation and social connection.” It’s all about sharing our best and helping others to do the same through practical but innovative programs. So this year we’re going to share one of our favorite Christmas recordings with you. I can almost guarantee that this will come as something of a shock. A delightful shock. Check out this version of “Twas the Night Before Christmas” by Art Carney if you want to smile.

Notice anything new? Just look at the top of this website, at the menu listings. You’ll find one has been added, something called “PeacePage.” Here’s the direct link to make it easy for you to see what we’re talking about: www.thehumanityproject.com/peacepage. We are very, very proud to host it on the Humanity Project site. Created by the Humanity Project in close partnership with our friend and member, Haikaa Yamamoto, PeacePage is a collaboration among nonprofit groups from all seven continents, as well as individuals from around the world. Yep, we even have Antarctica represented — twice.

The Humanity Project is growing, expanding — and reaching out to more people than ever. Our signature program remains Anti-bullying Through The Arts, of course, and we’re committed to making sure this effective anti-bullying system reaches as many children as possible, now and for years to come. But we’re also connecting in new ways, even going international as part of our efforts. As part of this, we have formed a wonderful blog and photo exchange with the Egyptian Association for Educational Resources, a respected and non-religious nonprofit organization based in Cairo.

The Humanity Project today is going global in a new way. And this is only the beginning. We’re proud to announce another new partnership, this time with a fellow nonprofit half a world away: the Egyptian Association for Educational Resources, or E-ERA. This respected organization is non-political, non-governmental, non-religious. E-ERA offers a variety of programs to improve life for people in North Africa with the focus on youth empowerment and leadership. They provide civic education, professional development and promote youth volunteerism as well as cross-cultural understanding.

Today we’re very glad to announce an important new partnership. The Fort Lauderdale Mommies organization represents moms all over South Florida, from southern Miami-Dade County up through Broward to the very top of Palm Beach County. This group is part of the national Mommies Network, a 501c3 nonprofit just like the Humanity Project. Both nationally and locally, these mommies help other mothers to find support and friendship and even some fun in their communities. The Humanity Project is proud to officially partner with the South Florida chapter.
To create and implement innovative programs that teach children and adults how to use cooperation and social connection for individual development and grassroots community improvement.
