Foundation Beyond Belief is proud to introduce our new Family Resource Page. This constantly evolving page brings resources to humanist parents wishing to help their children develop compassionate engagement with the world around them.
In addition to general resources for encouraging generosity and mutual responsibility, this page will include books, online activities, and other resources related to the Foundation's causes at a given time.
The drought and famine in the Horn of Africa is a major focus of our work for the rest of 2011, so we're launching this page with resources to help kids learn about the region, the cultures, and the issues involved in that crisis, from geography to climate to a description of famine itself. We'll also explore what the world is doing to help those in desperate need, and to plan for a future in which famine is relegated to the history books.

This is a really cool start to something that I think is one of the most exciting parts of being a humanist. We have the chance to bring families together around making the world a better place. My wife and I are thinking about starting a family within the next few years so this kind of resource really hits home for me. As humanists we have the chance to foster in our children a profound empathy along with the burgeoning passion for discovery that comes with youth. I hope that this project continues to grow.
