		<title>&#8220;I Care!&#8221; Program Drives Forward</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you may have read in the previous post, "I Care!" is the Humanity Project's new teen driver safety program, being created with a grant from State Farm. We're working with a very smart, energetic group of student writers, photographers and graphic artists at South Plantation High School in Plantation, Florida. Their teacher, Sarah Lerner, has been wonderfully helpful as we get into the nuts and bolts of our work. This week, I just wanted to update you briefly on our progress. ]]></description>

		<title>Major New Humanity Project Program: &#8220;I Care!&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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!” ]]></description>

		<title>Facing A Hopeful Future</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes the people we meet give us realistic hope -- and in this week's blog we wanted to pass along a recent example of this. The students at South Plantation High School in Plantation, Florida are working with us on two major projects. We'll be announcing those efforts to the public very soon. Stay tuned. For now, though, we can honestly tell you that we are finding the experience inspiring so far. ]]></description>

		<title>Making A Difference</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There really are endless ways to make a positive difference in this troubled world. Many of us try to do this, but still may wonder: "Am I making a difference?" At the Humanity Project, we believe that every genuine effort to help does make a difference. So we absolutely love this short tale that clearly makes a point about this very thing. It is adapted by us here from an old Hawaiian fable. We think you'll enjoy reading it ...]]></description>

		<title>Sharing Some Cheerful Cheer!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

		<title>Our Loyal Friends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They say gratitude is among the more important qualities for human well-being. At the Humanity Project, we believe that's true. And we indeed are grateful at this organization for many things -- including the wonderful friends we have. One of those friends is Children's Services Council of Broward County. For the fourth consecutive year, CSC is sponsoring the anti-bullying efforts of the Humanity Project. Today, we're sending out our most sincere gratitude to everyone there. Thank you! ]]></description>
