Hello, Jameson Fellows!
“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.” - Pema Chödrön

25 Years Later: Never Forget Youth Day of Remembrance
Creating a Giving Culture LV is looking to lead a citywide youth day of remembrance, bringing together local K-12 students across Las Vegas to honor the lives lost, recognize our heroes, and ensure this moment is never forgotten. At the heart of this project will be a powerful, never-forget remembrance wall created by students and filled with messages of gratitude and reflection.
HOW CAN YOU HELP AND GET INVOLVED
We are looking to collect 4x6 cards. Please have the students write 1 or 2 sentences answering “Why is it important to remember 9-11?” or “How can our generation continue to honor those we lost?” Students can also add a drawing, and on the bottom, please write their name and grade.
We are looking to have K through 12 schools do one video with the entire school saying “WE WILL NEVER FORGET “this videos will be put together and played at the event.
