Effectively and Interactively Empowering Children

We read about kidnapping and worse, murder of young children on a daily basis. There is almost one report a week and it’s scary to say the least. What’s even more frightening is that this situation is in grave danger of being swept under the carpet and treated like just another everyday “normal” occurrence. When things like this happen, reactive and proactive differences become as clear as day. It’s time to stop saying “oh poor thing” and start making a stand and do something about the situation simply because we can. All it takes is one voice and you’ll find that it’ll soon resound with the support of a thousand others.

In view of this, outLOUD Studios is taking things one step further not just by being proactive but also interactive and effective in reaching out to as many children possible through our Stand Up, Speak Up, Stay Safe safety awareness project as part of our five month Great Orange Charity Drive. It’s going to be a huge year-end event and it’ll involve Aikido professionals who will coach these young participants in basic self-defense techniques and the ability to be more aware of their surroundings.

If you are a parent, older brother, sister reading this, remember that you have the power to protect your child and sibling. And perhaps you can tell a young child this today – tell them that they are strong and brave, special and entitled to a life not lived in fear.
