Greetings of peace and love! Many thanks, for being in place!
Operation: Nature's Children.
What we believe: That all children and youth should have access to Nature because, that connection is fun and healthy for them. Activity and exposure within Nature are important to children's and youth's physical and mental health.
Vision: Returning children and youth back into the nurturing care of Nature.
Mission: To introduce or reintroduce underserved children and youth far removed physically and mentally from Nature's splendor and beauty, with expectations of integrating them into the Natural world.To encourage children and youth, along with their families and communities to adore, love and share within Nature, even in it's humblest form. Assisting children and youth to discover, marvel, play, touch, listen, feel, and establish permanent holistic relationships with Nature.
Nature is waiting for the return of it's Children.
Thanks for adding me to this wonderful International C&NN Connect group. I look forward to being inspired and hope I can add value and support anyone here in any way I can.
Great news - The film, Project Wild Thing, is now available online - it's may be something you would enjoy as it's about rebranding nature to encourage parents and children to spend more time outside http://vimeo.com/ondemand/projectwildthing
Thanks Suz - that's a really good article. There's a lot of interesting "green thinking" emerging from Japan at the moment.
This story appeared in the Macau Daily Times in China:
At a University of Macau forum in China, Japanese scholar Hiroshi Abe noted that, when it comes to protecting the environment, educating the younger generation is more important than advanced technology.
