You wanna feel real good about our world? Then check out this video from theHarlem Children's Zone(HCZ). Created by Harvard graduate and lifelong child advocate, Dr. Geoffrey Canada, this program and its results, epitomize the message of No Bad News! Yes, good news is everywhere, so check out the video and read on for more inspiration from HCZ!
From birth through graduation, HCZ emphasizes the importance of providing intellectual, parental and social stimulation as the foundation for healthy cognitive development and fostering a passionate love of education. At iamgoodnews.com we are also impressed by HCZ's emphasis on the role that parents play in determining their child's future. Each child who goes through the academic programs of HCZ is disrupting cycles of poverty and illiteracy, and instead is acquiring ones of success, hope and a bright future for the children, families and their community.
When looking at the work of Canada and the HCZ, we at iamgoodnews.com are amazed at how their vision resonates with the message of No Bad News. For generations people have perceived communities like Harlem, South L.A., inner-city Detroit and Baltimore, Maryland as forgotten cities, rife with only violence, drugs, poverty and a lack of hope. Through his efforts at HCZ, Dr. Canada encourages children, families and now millions of others to lift their heads and look for, and be the good news. Not only in their community, but most of all, within themselves as well. In doing so, he is rapidly changing the physical and psychological landscape for children and families in Harlem and abroad. Yes, the Harlem Children's Zone is GOOD NEWS and we thank you for your inspiration and constant reassurance that all children can succeed. ALL!
