On Thursday, April 16, members of the Humanity Project took to the streets … at a safe social distance, of course. (And with full approval of the local police department.) Our goal: To serenade residents at two large apartment complexes in Wilton Manors, Florida, hoping to lift their spirits, get them to sing along and also to thank essential lockdown workers including doctors, nurses, grocery clerks, drivers and first responders. The event was sponsored by our good friends at Our Fund Foundation.
What we didn’t know until we tried: Nearly soundproof glass at both apartment complexes prevented too many folks from hearing our message of hope. But those who did hear and respond seemed to appreciate our efforts. For our part, we were glad to reach out and connect with fellow human beings in this way.
We plan to try again, perhaps with advance notification to the residents of buildings we will visit. But for now, please know that all of us at the Humanity Project remain committed to respect for the equal value of every human being … and to reminding as many people as we can reach about the goodness and inherent value of humanity. We are stronger than COVID.
