One Spirit, One World founded by Geela, is committed to providing all people and children in particular opportunities for growth and a better future by inspiring them to go from making a living to making a difference.

Our goals are: (1) To serve as an advocate for social/global issues by increasing public awareness and involvement. (2) To build a strong grassroots coalition in order to promote world peace and other social/global issues for the benefit of mankind. (3) To help create, protect and preserve a free and diverse society. (4) To become a model for other organizations in the world.

We provide the following:
  • A direct humanitarian relief
  • Opportunities for cultural exchange (ages up to 18 years old with host families) as a way to increase global awareness and promote cultural harmony
  • A global campaign for education towards a culture of peace
  • Promoting kindness and friendship within the school's curriculum
  • Annual Peaceful Toys and/or events Fair
  • A Teacher's Guide to Peace Education

We offer paths to lasting peace and prosperity by integrating the influence of high-profile people, who share a similar passion to make a difference, as well as the media. We choose powerful tools such as music, books, movies, TV/radio specials and unique events and social programs celebrating the human potential and spirit, with a unifying and empowering message of hope for all.

Our strategic plans call for specific programs, activities each with their own goals, budgets and deadlines which are intended to educate the public and advocate for social change. These programs are as follows:

(1) Educate young people through outreach programs, news media, books, music, special TV/radio programs. Establish a program of youth exchange in which children of different cultures and races are exposed to others in the spirit of friendship. In this way, we hope to plant seeds of peace early on so that every one becomes a messenger and a committed ambassador of peace in their own communities for future generations.
(2) Provide a meaningful experience in which young people can feel a sense of control over the direction of their lives. Establish a multi-purpose center ("Building Bridges") designed to provide a place where people, and kids in particular, can get a chance to meet, connect, get support, guidance and discuss current events and relevant issues in a safe, non-restrictive environment.
(3) Provide support and expertise on various cultural issues in order to inspire cultural peace and harmony. Distribute information to volunteers, schools and media, coordinate efforts with other like-minded organizations, develop educational outreach for schools, churches, senior clubs and plant the seed of peace to combat cultural and racial biases and hatred.
(4) Create and hold a peace summit/conference to bring together other like-minded people who are interested in contributing through their ideas and strategies.
(5) Create a national network of grassroots activists with a massive campaign directed towards public education. Produce teachers' packets including a special educational video targeting elementary, middle and high schools level with the emphasis on non-violence and a more tolerant approach to preventing and solving conflicts.
(6) Create a bimonthly newsletter "One Spirit, One World Update" which will contain news, ideas, strategies as well as suggestions for future unified action.
(7) Conduct special seminars and workshops with high-profile and well-respected people and experts in the field of human potential, while promoting the concepts of peace and conflict resolutions.
(8) Send letters to key people in the media and the educational system, advocating for the development of special programs designed to offer unique and relevant learning experiences with effective and innovative solutions to society's problems (including teaching the value of diversity and co-existence as a critical element for our very survival). This would include special hands-on projects such as field trips, field work projects, interactive educational activities and plays. This will hopefully strengthen the sense of community and improve race/culture relations which would result in less violence and other destructive behavior.
(9) Incorporate our "11 Commandments for Human Decency" in our programs as a way to increase awareness, peace consciousness and personal responsibility.
(10) Establish similar chapters and community outreach programs in other countries.
(11) Collaborate with other like-minded organizations to accelerate the process of affecting change.
