Sacks of Hope: Classroom Acts of Kindness
|
| To be rich is not what you have in your bank account but what you have in your heart. This thought is beautifully embodied by the Sacks of Hope project initiated by third and fourth grade students of teacher Leon Lewandowski in Room 9 at Franklin Elementary School in Santa Barbara, California. These students, who don’t have much themselves, got together to bring hope to homeless people by providing them with basic necessities. When schools start teaching kindness, ripples of positivity follow as evident from the popularity of the Sacks of Hope project which is now being implemented by other teachers at Franklin Elementary as well as teachers in different schools in California. Indeed kindness is contagious. Such small acts, when multiplied, will surely transform our world. |

Addressing Social Justice with Compassion
Professor Rhonda Magee is a faculty member at the University of San Francisco law school, an expert in contemplative pedagogy, the President of the Board of the Center for Contemplative Minds in Society, and a teacher of mindfulness-based stress reduction interventions for lawyers and law students. She has spent her career exploring the interrelationship between law, philosophy, and notions of justice and humanity. Having grown up in a segregated North Carolina, Magee developed an early interest in racial and social justice, as well as a deep sense of spirituality and inner work – both aspects of her personal life that profoundly inform her daily work. In this Awakin call conversation, Professor Magee shares of her commitment to inner transformation work, and the role of the inner dimensions in “ensouling” the justice system and resolving conflicts. { read more }
