We are often touched and inspired by new friends of the Humanity Project. Students and teachers working in our programs. Folks at events stopping with genuine interest by our table. And people signing our Pledge for Humanity.
Recently, a friend named Teri left a comment with us after signing that pledge. We think it’s worth sharing with you. She wrote: “I know that this world of equality and respect for all is a world within our reach. Your message and that of the Humanity Project is a balm for the soul and one I am proud to support. Congratulations on all that you have accomplished as you celebrate your ‘Sweet 16’ anniversary!” – Teri, new signer of the Humanity Project Pledge for Humanity.
Thank you so much, Teri! All of us here are gratified and encouraged by your hopeful remarks. We work hard to promote “Equality For Each, Respect For All” … and to instill greater respect for the goodness and inherent value of humanity. We believe that every human being has an equal worth. Our efforts are directed toward helping both kids and adults to believe that as well, which of course includes a core faith in our own value as individuals. We hope that you may want to join our campaign by signing our Pledge for Humanity, as Teri did. This is what it says:
“As one hopeful member of the human race, I promise to make every reasonable effort to live up to these words each day. Accordingly, I pledge:
To treat every human being with respect for their inherent value – even when I disagree with their actions, words or beliefs.
To look beyond myself, striving toward a humanity where each human being feels equally valuable.
To understand that this effort benefits me by strengthening my own self-worth and forging a higher purpose for my daily life.”
You can sign that pledge here on our website. Visit the Pledge for Humanity page We hope to hear from you soon!
