Teaching children how to fish, instead of giving them the fish, is a self-reliant objective for founder and president Ismael Hernandez, of Freedom & Virtue Institute. Yesterday was an extremely important chapter in the lives of the children, who are enrolled in the Golden Bear program, at 3 Oaks Elementary, a self reliance club initiative, who learned this concept of life. Mr. Hernandez has a vision, "Children need to earn their rewards, they need to feel a part of that vision". The Golden Bear, after school program, is to recognize academics, from January to April. Congratulation KIDZ!
Media Update luncheon for the Self-Reliance clubs On behalf of our host Three Oaks Elementary School5/15/2014
“Love for America, love of neighbor, concern for the poor, respect of the principles of freedom, and a desire to build a society that respects human dignity are the foundation of our efforts.” Self reliance clubs operate at public schools and through them elementary and middle school students work, save, learn basic economics and earn money to buy their school supplies and meet other educational needs. Not a hand-out, only a hand-up. Please join us for an update on the work of the Self Reliance clubs and hear about all the successes in Lee and Collier Counties. WHERE: Three Oaks Elementary School cafeteria WHEN: May 27th at 12:30 CONTACT/RSVP: Ismael Hernandez Email: [email protected] Dear Friends, Our Self-Reliance Clubs are growing! To help fund our initiative where students work, learn economics, earn and buy their school supplies and other educational items we conduct an annual Golf Tournament. I ask you o please consider offering some support at any level possible so we can continue this project connecting reward to accomplishment. We see the poor not merely as passive recipients of magnanimity but instead as active participants in their own realization. With your help, our clubs will continue to expand and offer a new vision of poverty alleviation. Please, check out the information on how to help on the flyer.
