Humanity Club, pandemic-style
The Humanity Project is based on connection, cooperation, collaboration. Our work requires being there, in person, to teach and explain, to motivate and inspire.
Or so we thought.
As folks all around the world are learning, this horrible pandemic has a way of forcing us to find new approaches to familiar tasks. For the Humanity Project, this has included holding our acclaimed Humanity Club meetings online. Humanity Club works with young kids of color to help them understand respect for all as well as the meaning of equality. We also develop their leadership skills and encourage our kids to take these lessons to their peers.
This summer we’re again working through Broward County’s Parks Department here in South Florida, with great thanks to Ms. Orika Carty. The kids are great and so is Ms. Carty and her staff.
Of course we’re hoping to get back into the classroom with the children soon — and to begin our other programs in-person as intended. But meanwhile, the Humanity Project is reaching out by staying in… and continuing our important work as we keep our distance to help stop the spread of an awful disease.
