HEALTH PROJECT

Obesity, childhood diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and psychiatric problems are steadily increasing along with the rapid rise of health care costs.

 

Good health comes from good nutrition… and knowledge!

We all need to have a better understanding of what good nutrition really is, as it effects our bodies, brain function, mental clarity, cognitive ability, and mood.  Many of us are misinformed and do not understand the consequences of the food choices that we make. We lack basic knowledge of what our bodies need and the addictive nature of some of the processed foods that we consume. This is especially true for those that are limited by their economic status. This situation is dangerous to our society, our health and well-being, and our economy.

We are creating an outreach program starting at the school level to educate students and their families on nutrition, fitness, and healthy lifestyle choices. Our goal is to instill healthy eating and exercise habits that are easy to understand and follow. Our interactive Health Program will bring the most cutting edge information on health and exercise.  An information hub will be available to help farmers protect the soil and grow more nutritious food, to help families plan meals and activities, to provide educators with lesson plans and teaching aids, and to help people find farmers markets and healthy activities in their local communities.

The Constitution Center

 

“Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people.”
— John Adams

 

Many of us know very little about the US Constitution, and more importantly we do not understand it, or the principles it contains. Lacking this knowledge in a representative democracy, citizens can be exploited and manipulated to give up their rights and freedoms without realizing it. Without this knowledge we may vote for politicians or policies that may cause unwanted, even dangerous repercussions in the future.

Schools do not take the time to fully teach about the Constitution, the US Declaration of Independence, or the men who wrote them. Students are taught about these documents as historical artifacts, rather than the revolutionary documents that changed the world…. and more importantly govern the world they live in today.

We are in the process of creating an online portal of information with documents, videos, and scholarly explanation and analysis. In depth lesson plans and course outlines will be made available to educators, at different grade levels. A Video series is underway for teaching students as well as adults on Constitutional issues that affect their daily lives.

A shorter YouTube video series called the Constitutional minute will introduce young people to key principles of the Constitution. These quick entertaining videos not only inform, but pique the interest of the viewer to learn more about the documents.

Your help and support is needed now more than ever; donations, volunteers, and collaborations with other organizations, as well as help with fundraising are some of the ways that you can make a difference. Please consider having your corporations, foundation, or organization adopt us as a monthly supporter. We welcome endowment gifts, and funding for individual projects. We honor the unique preferences and philanthropic goals of each of our foundation partners. Do you know or are you a Constitutional scholar or author? If so, please contact us we can use your help!
