About Us
Children are being raised with more and more sophisticated technology while the landscape of supportive and basic spiritual philosophy surrounding them lies barren. Parents are often exhausted and insufficiently aided in guiding their children, too. Simple and effective tools are needed.
Over the past four years, working with three African orphanages, I’ve developed the Working Angels program to train children in the practice of both value recognition and reflective thought. As the program developed and they were given the opportunity to reflect on simple weekly prompts, they naturally loved to share what came to light. This in turn has helped the adults in their home environments to understand and guide them better.
This program has been built to foster racial and religious tolerance across boundaries, as tolerance itself is an important spiritual value. Value recognition enhances heartfelt connections that can bridge all sorts of cultural divides. That we have Christian and Muslim kids perfectly able to love and help each other is a testament to that.
Thanks to my wonderful team; Isa, Manyi John, Mpande Juliet and Tonny for all of their help in these years of developing the program. Their own projects and experiences with the program are listed below. And my deepest thanks to Megan Theoret for her vital technical help.
