GREATER VISION FOR YOUTH EMPOWERMENT

The Calling: Heal Ourselves, Heal Our Planet Documentary film series will act as a catalyst in the creation of our Youth Empowerment Program, which will connect youth internationally in order to spark a global movement to find solutions to our most urgent individual and planetary challenges. The curriculum is centered in: cosmology (indigenous world view), spirituality, identity, community, social-ecological justice, healing ourselves, and healing our planet.

 

We seek to explore local and global issues, find solutions and highlight current models of sustainability by combining the best of indigenous wisdom, science and technology along with modern earth friendly science and technology. Our areas of focus are:

 

  • Clean Water

  • Local Food Sustainability

  • Detoxification of the Environment

  • Clean Renewable Energy

  • Indigenous Rights

  • Health & Wellness

  • Social-Ecological Justice

 

Youth will meet with leaders and visionaries from all walks of life; scientists, leaders, activists, teachers, lawyers, farmers, artists, musicians, healers, elders and more.  These remarkable leaders share with the youth about their expertise, passion and life’s work and how they were able to move through their personal hardships in order to live in alignment with their individual and collective Calling.

 

Our transformational cultural-based curriculum will be replicated in communities across the globe, rooted in the unique cosmology of each place and led by local leaders.

"It is my hope that our youth will grow to love and feel connected to the ‘aina (land), water and all living beings and in so doing become inspired to grow into the new visionaries of our time who are capable of healing ourselves and our planet."



-Barbara Altemus, Creative Director & Visionary of The Calling

It is incumbent upon all of us to honor those that came before us, to understand the wisdom of history as a foundation for the next generation to build a new hope and prosperity towards a preferred future;
 

Aloha `aina, has been our “calling” to help all of us re-connect to the things that bring healing and nurturing to the land starting from the aloha that lives within us.
 

The Pacific American Foundation is honored to be a part of “The Calling” as we join together with like minds, hearts and spirit to encourage the youth among us.

-Herb Lee Jr., Executive Director of The Pacific American Foundation
