Hello, My name is Richard A. Snipes, founder of WASIA.org. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging and promoting world peace through the awareness of unity and the value of the respect and reverence for life. I realize that what I am about to propose may seem improbable, but it is no less impossible. I am contacting you regarding an innovative concept for a program that we are currently seeking to develop. The WASIA Awareness Program will be a series of courses designed around the Ethic of Reciprocity, a core value found within all major world religions and philosophies. This program will be designed by a dedicated panel of professionals consisting of psychologists, sociologists and early childhood education specialists to provide children with a more fundamentally solid foundation of moral and ethical standards by teaching: 1. The importance of encouraging a mutual respect and reverence for life, for all sentient beings. 2. The art of accepting differences, while recognizing and acknowledging commonalities in order to cultivate an awareness of unity. 3. The value of decision making founded not on potential rewards or impending consequences, but rather from conscience of mind and sentiment of the heart. 4. That we should intrinsically want for others what we inherently want for ourselves, which is the desire for happiness and the avoidance of suffering. Acknowledged and accepted by religious and spiritual leaders around the world, but launched from a secular platform, the program will be introduced to educational institutions worldwide with the objective of being adopted as a standard component of early childhood educational curriculum during the developmental and impressionable years of a child’s life. The anticipated effectiveness of this program is based on the Critical Mass theory, as it used in a social dynamic context where when an action or idea is adopted by a sufficient number within a social group, that action or idea then becomes self-sustaining reciprocating, creating further growth. With every succeeding generation, such a program could, in due course, contribute towards a significant decrease in the level of global violence and degradation on many levels by helping guide what is essentially a culture of complacency towards becoming a culture of compassion. It cannot be denied that, in theory, this is a good idea. Ideas sprout from the seeds of possibilities; and, with the right nurturing, can blossom into realities. The power and success of this program will be in the numbers. With right action and enough support from the right individuals, this concept would, in time, gain the attention and consideration needed in order for it to become a comprehensive, credible and pragmatic component of early childhood education worldwide. At this time, endorsements are being sought from attuned organizations as well as prominent individuals who are highly respected in their fields, including the political, religious/spiritual, educational, media and celebrity communities, in order to provide this project the diversified interests, momentum and credibility that it so deserves. Also, there will be aggressive social media campaigns and promotional videos to inform and increase public awareness on a global level. Indeed, this is a bold and ambitious endeavor. And if this should ever become a collective consideration, the effects would be gradual and ongoing, and may not even happen within our lifetime. But imagine the possibilities. This could be an opportunity to build a stable platform as a starting point for a potentially groundbreaking movement in a world where the current state of affairs suggests that violence and degradation are the status quo, and some form of positive global impact that promotes a higher level of mutual respect, acceptance and compassion is greatly needed. Children are the endpoints of the human evolution. When we teach a child, we touch the future. And to act on something that could offer even a promise of positive change towards the future value of the human condition should be a conscientious sense of service on the part of each and everyone who possesses the capacity to support and influence such a change that could ultimately guide our cultural and social development on a more positive and constructive path that would contribute to an evolution of consciousness based on improving relationships with ourselves, each other, and our environment. I am inviting you to support the concept for the WASIA Awareness Program by following us on Facebook and Twitter. Your support would be a great asset in this quest towards the overall betterment of the human condition. Best regards, Richard A. Snipes WASIA.org https://m.facebook/wasia.org1
