EARTHWARD
Our Friends
Turn your vision earthward –
'Tis we must lend a hand.
Samuel P. Putnam
A tribute to those individuals and organizations who have had or currently have a positive impact on EARTHWARD.
God Busters is the internet forum where the concept of EARTHWARD first sprung, was developed, and finally realized. We thank all who contributed ideas to promote the creation of EARTHWARD.
Jyoti Shankar was our first Vice Chair, a founding member, a major contributor of ideas, and a friend. Regrettably, we lost him to a heart attack shortly after EARTHWARD's establishment.
HUMAN (HUManist Association of Nepal) is our first affiliated organization. With HUMAN's help, we hope to provide assistance to victims of religious violence in Nepal, despite that few Nepali citizens have access to the internet, our primary communication medium.
HAN (Humanist Association of Nigeria) is our Nigerian affiliate. HAN has provided us valuable information and advice, for our fundraising project on behalf of Amina Lawal, the young Nigerian woman sentenced to death by stoning, for adultery. We expect to work with HAN on many further cases of religious violence in Nigeria.
Sisi Kwa Sisi, our affiliate from Tanzania, has brought to our attention the suffering of many in that nation, as a result of religious/superstitious practices as the murder of "witches" and the ritual use of human skin. We hope to alleviate that suffering for those who survive and must bear the loss of family and friends.
EARTHWARD proudly endorses Secular Coalition for America and it's work to promote the fundamental rights of non-theists.
