Through a collaboration between our Humanity Unites Brilliance (HUB), the StarShine Academy and Youth Action International, students in Liberia, Africa, will receive a HUB/StarShine Student Manual, providing a double-accredited, values-based educational program that is designed to guide students to be the very best community and global citizens and leaders they can be.
StarShine Academy, based in Phoenix, Arizona, and founded by HUB Ambassador Trish McCarty, uses an advanced holistic approach to help students focus on mind, body, spirit, health, wealth, and happiness to grow themselves to their highest and best use. Honored by the United Nations and educational leaders, StarShine is a model for a new generation of learning. (See more about our partners at www.starshineacademy.org and www.peaceforkids.org )
Our unique and unprecedented partnership has already supplied Accredited Teacher Manuals and trained 700 teachers to use this highly advanced, and globally sought-after curriculum, which also provided teachers US college credits through Maricopa Community Colleges. Teachers are eagerly awaiting their students and classrooms be sponsored with corresponding Student Manuals to further raise the level of education in this rebuilding, post-war nation. Your donation helps us build a replicable roadmap for bringing the most advanced teaching and learning techniques around the globe!
All our products begin with a story, and this one begins in the prisons of Idaho. Many don't realize the incredible difficulty those who were previously incarcerated have, after paying their debt to society, to get employment and begin anew. It is so difficult, that many give up and go back into the lifestyle that landed them in prison in the first place. Through this innovative social business, women looking for work during their transition back into society are connected with an idea: recycle wine bottles destined for the landfills into glasses. At the same time, Sustainable Futures create a series of empowerment classes and a program that will assist women to THRIVE rather than just survive when they are released. The "Sustainable Futures" social business is still in its infancy, which is why the members of Boise-HUB turned to Charlie Gay, the Founder and Visionary of HUB for inspiration. The result is recycled glasses with our HUB logo which are now available through the Global Market website and at select events. These glasses are available in sets of 4 for just $30 plus shipping. They make great gifts! And, remember, with every purchase you'll support the recycling of lives as well as glass. www.sustainable-futures.us
