We are manifesting sacred activism in school children on a global scale.
Ho’oponopono is the Hawaiian concept of forgiveness and making things right.
Ho’opononpono, Make Our Environment Right, is an environmental project created by Kindness in Action, Inc. USA, with the specific intention of manifesting sacred activism in school children on a global scale. The logo was created based on the flora and fauna of the Hawaiian islands. It is intended to create a sense of well-being and motivation to create a better world, a healthy environment for our children.
LATEST NEWS (23 August 2022) - We sent a small shipment of environmental and character building books (in Memory of one of our donors). Please see the following video and photos. We are very pleased the books arrived and hope the students at Ndemu Primary School will be inspired.
Mission
To help primary school children on a global scale manifest a love for Planet Earth by protecting and caring for her.
Vision
To create a tailor made environmental curriculum for primary school students that will enhance their ability to create a unique school environmental programme that is in tune with their cultural and spiritual practices.
Overview
Why Did Kindness in Action Create this pilot project? Not everyone is meant to be a sacred activist. It has been our experience that many of our children do not have the resources to embrace love of community, love of nature and even love of self. It is our intention that the Hawaiian concept of Ho’oponopono, (forgiveness) can help students understand how to say they are sorry, how to ask for forgiveness, how to show gratitude and how to say “I love you” to start the healing process from within to create a catalyst for lasting, positive change.
