U.S. Army Garrison—Ansbach, Germany
“Our last event was with the high school and middle school and we had the opportunity to speak with about 200 children about the Hands & Words Are Not For Hurting Project®. The students loved the project as did the soldiers and the Garrison Commander, who hopes this will reduce Domestic Violence within his community.”
“We showed the “Power of One” training film. I believe it was a perfect video, due to time restraints, that captures the importance of not using or words or hands for violence…Approximately 75 pledges were taken at the dining facilities. Most were soldiers, some family members, and an elementary school-age child (she was very excited). At the school we had the 200 students we spoke with that also took the pledge.”
“One young lady did not want to take the pledge so I asked her in private and after speaking for some time and explaining why it is important she took the pledge. That made my day and I hope that she remembers the importance of it.”
