It is not a Fundraiser, but a pledge to practice Values in daily life to transform. Food Bank will collect non-perishable food items at the starting point. Please register online and spread the word about this noble cause to all friends by forwarding this email copy. This walk is drawing the attention of all peace loving citizens and community leaders. Both Prime Minister Hon. Paul Martin and Premier Dalton McGuinty have personally commended this unique initiative and stated that this wonderful event will improve the quality of life of countless young people in our community and inspire all Ontarians. Why have a Walk for Values? We live in anxious times. Violence and bullying in our schools, drugs on our streets, gang wars in our neighbourhoods, and greed and corruption in our institutions are some of the many threats to our peace and well-being. The values of tolerance, understanding, respect, and other virtues such as strength of character, and concern for others are gradually being eroded by negative forces. If we stand by idly, things can only get worse. Those of us who long for a more caring and kinder world can make a difference. By walking together as kindred spirits, we can achieve two things: we can raise awareness of positive human values such as love, truth, non-violence and peace; and more importantly, we can bring attention to the urgent need to practice them. How is this Walk different? Unlike other walks, this is not a money-raiser. You will not raise money for any cause by soliciting pledges for money! Rather, you will make the world richer by pledging your commitment to practice values. You may also be motivated to serve your community through volunteer work, or by donating blood or food for the needy or doing anything selfless to extend their circle of hapiness to others. Giving back to the community the very best you have is the theme of this "Walk for Values". “The End of Education is Character” Attachment: (image/jpeg) clip_image002.jpg [not stored] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Sai Ram, The Organisers need to be patted on the back and lauded for their effort to bring awareness to the foundational requirement of Sathya, Dharama, Santhi, Prema and Ahimsa. May Swami shower His Grace on all participants who take this 3KM walk for values. Sai Ram - Be Happy JP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
