Mrs. Echols-Brown joins LaFern and discusses how EYM empowers students, parents, teachers, and counselors across the world. Educating Young Minds is a rich and diverse supplemental learning environment where students are encouraged to grow academically, emotionally and socially. EYM grew out of the needs of many students and families for additional education and counseling, which over-stressed public schools could not meet. EYM’s programs include: after school tutorial, home study instruction, weekend remedial, SAT/ACT exam prep, and college scholarship program. Create the opportunities and good things will happen. Angeles Echols-Brown doesn’t know roadblocks or obstacles. As the Founder, CEO and visionary behind Educating Young Minds (EYM), Ms. Echols-Brown recently pulled together for the first-time a massive three-day weekend entertainment and educational extravaganza for “her kids.” “Her kids” are college students, young adults, high school students and students as young as nine years of age who participated in life changing high-tech exhibits, educational workshops, career opportunities, met role models and celebrities and even participated in an international tele-conference with India and Africa. The worldwide weekend celebration began by recognizing the explosive internet evolution. EYM showcased its new cutting-edge interactive website “Access/No Excuse” during a special reception at its corporate offices. “Access/No Excuse” is a state-of-the-art interactive online academic and career development search engine. EYM officials said “Access/No Excuse” will help further expand the reach and vision of EYM’s programs and at the same time address academic, vocational and outreach opportunities for students worldwide.

In September 2001, Texas ad agency GSD&M created a PSA to celebrate the country's extraordinary diversity and remind Americans that it was the time to unite as a country. And 10 years later, the message continues to resonate. Response to the PSAs in 2001 was unprecedented - the media donated $100 million in time and space in the first year, and Americans around the world voiced their support for such an important and timely message.

The Los Angeles Lakers Youth Foundation's goal is to assist nonprofit community organizations based on need. With the Foundation's focus on the use of sports to promote education, teamwork and self-esteem among Los Angeles area youth, our fundraising directly supports these initiatives by providing financial assistance to children and local youth programs.
Through programs like Read to Achieve, Student and Educator of the Month Award, and the Memorial Chick Hearn Scholarship Award, the Lakers work closely with local colleges, and elementary, middle, and high schools to honor those who demonstrate outstanding academic achievements in the classroom.
Read to Achieve
During the 2008-09 season, the Los Angeles Lakers held our annual book drive to collect books for the Lakers Reading and Learning Centers throughout the city. Collected books were donated in memory of Chick Hearn and over the past four seasons, Laker fans have generously donated over 5,500 books to support literacy.
Each year, the Los Angeles Lakers also send members of the Lakers All-Star Reading Team out into the community to conduct L.A.K.E.R. (Los Angeles Kids Enjoy Reading) Time Outs. The focus of the read aloud program is to encourage children to be excited about books and to develop a life-long love for reading. The All-Star Reading Team is comprised of players, coaches, the Laker Girls, spouses and parents of players, former Lakers and local celebrities.
Since 2002, the Lakers have created or renovated fourteen Lakers Reading Rooms or Lakers Learning Centers throughout Los Angeles and Hawaii. Each site was remodeled with new carpet, new paint, framed Lakers photos, bookshelves, tables, chairs, sofas and new children’s books, offering children a safe and fun learning environment dedicated to literacy.
READ TO ACHIEVE PLEDGE
Reading is fun and
books are cool too.
I will read a book daily
to learn something new.
I will learn different words
and I will listen in school,
when teachers read stories
and share reading rules.
I will practice my skills
in every way,
reading is something
I will do everyday.
Reading will offer
great adventures to me,
reading will help me be
the best I can be.
DONATE TO THE LAKERS YOUTH FOUNDATION

Dennis M. Cusack, TIBET'S WAR OF PEACE: a nation's nonviolent struggle for freedom
Dennis Cusack is a lawyer in the San Francisco Bay Area and a writer. He has studied the international Tibet support movement for over twelve years. He is a current Board member and past President of the Berkeley-based non-profit, Tibet Justice Center. The work he has done for Tibet Justice Center has included advocating on behalf of Tibetans to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In March 2008, the Tibetans had staged an uprising across the Tibetan Plateau. Thousands were arrested; hundreds are still in prison; several Tibetans were executed for their roles in the Uprising. Tibet remains under very heavy police control. Tibetans in response have engaged in creative nonviolent resistance. Tibetans normally celebrate the Tibetan New Year, Losar, in very festive fashion. In February 2009, Tibetans across Tibet refused to celebrate Losar. This has evolved into a broader effort by Tibetans to display their Tibetanness by, for example, more consistently wearing traditional Tibetan dress, honoring "White Wednesday," writing and singing about traditional Tibetan themes. Some very popular Tibetan singers have recorded and performed songs that are nationalistic in tone, with subtle and sometimes not so subtle pro-Tibetan lyrics. A Tibetan woman, Woeser, who lives under house arrest in Beijing with her Chinese husband, Wang Lixiong, has become a strong voice for Tibetans, blogging regularly about events in Tibet. Her blog can be read in translation on High Peaks Pure Earth website http://www.highpeakspureearth.com/
If you go to http://www.tibetnetwork.org/ , you can find information on how to donate to groups that are providing direct relief on the ground. The Tibetans in the area of the earthquake have appealed to allow the Dalai Lama to visit and pray for them, but the Chinese Government has not responded.

BeNeca Ward, Author of 3rd Generation Country, a Practical Guide to Raising Children with Great Values
Nominated for the 2010 41st NAACP Image Awards
Outstanding Literary Works- Debut Author
BeNeca Ward highlights the practices that were once used to set the American standards on raising children to be kind, respectful and responsible adults in her newly released guide: 3rd Generation Country, a Practical Guide to Raising Children with Great Values.
In a generation where parents are their children's "buddy" and the boundaries that are supposed to exist between parents and their children are non-existent, Ward sheds light on the timely topic of how to instill great values into today’s children. This book focuses on GETTING BACK TO THE BASICS OF PARENTING utilizing the lessons that were used for at least three generations but for many reasons are no longer being taught. Subtle and informative, this book infuses humor and wit as readers reflect upon their own experiences and are tuned into the experiences of others. It also spotlights how much was once taught through the simplest lessons. With chapters like, “Hold My Hand”, “The Patience of a Pomegranate”, “The Makings of a Man” and Family Ties” readers are in for a memorable illuminating experience. As Ward states, it is never too late to mold America’s children into kind, respectful and responsible adults.
“Being neighborly was…a bit like
mandatory community service.”
mandatory community service.”
"This book focuses on the values and practices that were instilled into American children for at least three generations but for many reasons are no longer being taught. Years ago, parents passed on to their children the lessons that they learned as children while stirring in life experiences that related to what was going on in the world as their children were growing up."
CHAPTER FIVE
The Makings of a Man
Shoes, as simple as they are, have become very symbolic of the mentality of many young men today in regard to how they feel about hard work. Years ago, it was not uncommon to walk into someone’s house and see a pair of dirty work boots that had been left at the door. Even those men whose jobs did not require that they wear work boots usually still owned a pair and wore them whenever they did yard work around their house. In the past, men had no problem doing dirty work because they understood how they would benefit from their labor. Today, there are some who refuse to get themselves, their clothes, or their shoes dirty. Being well-groomed has always been important, but several men today are overly concerned. Casual tennis shoes have become more popular than ever before...
...Young men were taught the value of working hard. Even though “work smarter and not harder” has become a very popular saying in our society and is great if you are able to do so, we have to remember to teach young people that there is nothing wrong with getting dirty or doing hard work if there is a need to do so.

BeNeca is a mother of two who comes from a large blended family. She learned first-hand how to instill great values into the lives of children by watching her mother who owned and operated an in-home daycare center. She is currently the Vice President of Operations at Simmons Lathan Entertainment and Media Group in Los Angeles.
