The Power of One
By Ruth Turgeman
A little about my person:
Ruth Beaglehole became a preschool teacher at the age of 17 than in the late 1960’s she moved to the United States from New Zealand. Going the United states and working with children meeting so many activists and hearing the stories of how parents abuse their children reminded her of her childhood, which lead her on a path of making a difference in the world. She wanted children’s voices to be heard. Later on she started an organization called Echo Parenting and Education and Silver Lake People’s Playgroup. She isnt working there anymore but she continues to help chil |

A few quotes from the interview
“As I began to hear the stories of other people, it all just left me questioning, why do so many people walk around with childhood pain?”
“Why can’t we just change the world now?”
“So much to be done and we need so many activists to build the social justice movement for children so anybody who is working around children find your way to contribute. Have a vision and go for it, have a vision and hold it”

About her Organization
The organization I mentioned earlier that is called Echo Parenting and Education was founded by Ruth Beaglehole. It is a place where they can teach people how to communicate and teach children in a no abusive way. That means no abuse whatsoever. In the interview Ruth mentions that abuse during childhood is a big reason why some people lean to drugs and other bag habits when they are older. To help stop that we need to cut it from the root, not the leaves. There is so much more about the organization and their goal so if you want to learn more about it and maybe even volunteer, follow the link below. |
