Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of
their mind and soul, can change the outer
aspects of their lives and those of others
If there is light in the soul,
there will be beauty in the
person, there will be harmony
in the house. If there is
harmony in the house, there
will be order in the nation. If
there is order in the nation,
there will be peace in the
world

Why The Need?

Spirituality has been proven to in-
crease happiness in people of all ages
(http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%

One thing that all humans share is the
need to belong and my goal is to help
foster acceptance amongst everyone,
guide people in searching for their true
selves, and to inspire in them a
passion for life.

I believe students can begin to achieve
those goals by my helping them learn
to think in new ways and ask the kinds
of questions that lead to deeper
questions.

This can all be accomplished through
the sharing of ideas and dreams with
others.
Your involvement in the things
that matter will make a
difference. Come and join others
that are like-minded. Dont let
your ideas remain inactive. Give
them wings, set them in flight.

Do you want to know more
about yourself and what you
stand for? Come talk to me and/
or we can set-up a discussion
group. You can also participate
in (or suggest) the various
activities held during the year.
Our Role

Spiritual Life:
To help make sense of the
fundamental questions of life, to
understand the reason for our
existence, to search for our inner
selves, to respect the traditions
and rituals of our culture and
those of others and to explore the
many visions of the world.

Community Involvement:
To help students realize the
importance of Community Life
and a social conscience, of
reaching out and of volunteerism.
To encourage students to
develop healthy and solid
relationships, to develop their
feelings of belonging to their
school and community and help
develop intercultural ties while
highlighting the importance of
good citizenship.
