Education for Humanity

Education for Humanity
Our Organization exists to open the world of knowledge and further the passions of students in developing and developed countries. We believe that education is most important to advance technology and overall human standard of living. The world needs more teachers, doctors, entrepreneurs among many other professions and our goal is to expose students all over the world to the interesting lives of professionals so that they can pursue their passions early on. We will have a two-fold program, one in the developing world and one in developed.

Developing countries
Our aim here is to find human capital that will want to volunteer to teach English to a local population in Africa. When these students get the hold of English, we will have a basic means of communication. Our curriculum will then incorporate basic survival skills such as growing/finding food, purifying water, and self-defense. The next step is to teach topics such as math, science, and writing. If the country has access to electricity, we will introduce low-cost laptops pre-installed with videos of instruction on a variety of topics to supplement their learning in class. Students who graduate from our programs will be given an opportunity to either stay and teach basic education to their native population or further their education through our second program in developed countries.

Developed countries
As technology is becoming a bigger part of our lives, we have to teach kids and the new generation of students how to use them as tools for success instead of time sinks. We also want to provide an alternative to the current education system so that our students are not confined to the 5 days a week 8am – 3pm schedule. We want to use technology to show students a variety of professions, starting with those currently in highest demand. Students who finds an interest in one field will be grouped together to be taught the skills needed for that profession. Our aim is to identify student’s interests early on and provide support to help them pursue their passion. To keep our curriculum engaging, students will be using virtual reality (VR) technology to play simulation games that teaches them academic concepts. They will also be able to use the VR space to work on projects and test their knowledge. We want to associate learning to a fun, interactive experience that is spurred by the child’s personal interest. We want our students to graduate with the skills tantamount to any degree in America without having to go through all the tedious classes that they are not interested in. Students often time do not remember what they learned because they are not actively engaged or interested in it. Our VR systems will teach students

Get Involved
Our organization is different because we seek to teach the skills for basic survival in developing countries, along with basic education so that locals can be self-sufficient and to help students discover their passions early on so that we can produce highly motivated, productive professionals. To make this vision a reality, we need vast amount of funding for both programs. This is where Anima Mundi Development Partners steps in. Through your funding, we can create a self-sustainable teaching model in developing countries, which will then funnel graduates into our technologically advanced programs. Through this, we will increase the literacy rates across the board and provide more manpower to solve many of today’s world issues.
