Q: What final message would you give educators and parents who want to bring these values into their homes and communities?
Rev. David Bayduza: Practice the art of mentoring. The older generation can share wisdom and stories about how they got through difficulties and answer the questions the younger generation is asking. We need to find ways to connect the two generations. We can all make a difference by sharing with one another and practicing Humility, Kindness, and Love together.
