From Chris Myers Asch who is working to launch the U.S. Public Service Academy in Washington D.C.
"Thanks for the public for the Public Service Academy on your website. We appreciate your spreading the word, and I certainly hope that the Academy will be up and running by the time your kids are ready for college. I had not heard about your organization, but I love it! What a great idea! It reminds me of the lessons my own father taught me, many of which I have only learned in the two years since he passed away. Good luck!"

From Jackie Kasher, one of our board members:
"I went to a conference last week and Dr. Robert Brooks was there. He is a motivational speaker that has written many books for parents and teachers. One of his most famous books is called Raising a Resilent Child. He speaks about motivation, self esteem and resilence. Along with many other great points he spent time talking to us about the following two questions: "What charitable activities has your child seen you involved in? and What charitable activities have you and your child been involved in together?" His point was that children naturally like to help. He believes...as parents we need to try and foster this by providing our children with opportunities, beginning at a young age, where they can learn how good it feels to help others. I wish you were all there to hear his words."
