The Golden Tree of Goodness
OUR Goal
Our goal is to promote goodness through reading.
OUR Method
We inspire children to be heroes to themselves and their communities. By encouraging positivity in the self and in the environment, by bringing them to a place where practicing the Golden Rule is contagious.
OUR Mission
In today’s time, children need a mentor more than ever. As the African proverb goes, “The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel it’s warmth.” We do not want children to grow up to destroy the world, instead, we want them to build it for future generations. The Golden Tree of Goodness will help in accomplishing this mission by:
- By empower children/students to be resilient, with good moral character, and have a growth mindset.
- Strengthening the Village: by creating an environment for children to nurture them mentally and emotionally, their talents shine for the collective good.
- Laying out the foundation for others to tread the path towards goodness. This is done by creating an environment where understanding and empathy can exist.
When we build a child, we build families, when we build families, we build communities, when we build communities, we build a world of goodness. Just remember that if we neglect the child, he/she will grow up to burn down our village to feel its warmth.
