Charity Bomb

Charity Bomb is raising money to support our efforts to have Emotional Intelligence integrated into our school curriculums

We are not interested in putting a band-aid on the afflictions that our constituents face, we are interested in fixing the problem. With this initiative, we are getting to the root of the issue and offering a solution.

The number one fear among parents is bullying in school. Why does bullying occur? Schools want to push this burden off on to the parent(s) because it’s true, it starts at home, and parents are responsible for instilling these values in their kids. Children emulate their environment. Sadly, not all children have the great fortune of growing up with two loving parents who embody high moral and ethical values. This isn’t a blame game, it’s a fact. But the purpose of education is to prepare our children for life, and we haven’t found a single argument that opposes our belief that this affliction can be eradicated if our education system teaches Emotional Intelligence as a bona fide subject in the middle school curriculum. Inversely, we’ve found an abundance of evidence, to add to logic and reasoning, that if our children are taught Emotional Intelligence in school, the depression, violence, bullying, anxiety, and suicides can be mitigated entirely, thus, preparing our children for life.

Our goals

2020

To have the Emotional Intelligence course syllabus designed by the Spring.

2021

Lobby for course integration with active petitions in every school district across the United States by 2021.

2022

Integrate our Emotional Intelligence course into 50 middle school curriculums

2025

Make Emotional Intelligence a popular, integrated, household named subject across the United States and eradicate, or dramatically reduce the statistics of depression, violence, suicides, anxiety, and bullying among teens and adolescent students. Spread this achievement across the world.

Where is my donation going?

Charity Bomb is commissioning a variety of intellectuals to develop a course syllabus.
Charity Bomb is petitioning the United States Department of Education to add EI to the criteria of subjects that are taught in middle schools across the country.
Simultaneously, we are approaching state school districts in Florida, Illinois, and California to pressure the integration from the bottom, initiating local petitions in their respective school districts
Creating the curriculum and appealing to entities like www.6seconds.org
Ultimately integrating an EI course into the curriculums of middle schools in America and beyond
Charity Bomb will post weekly updates about our progress and measure the impact of every dollar raised through our innovative Tribal Planet dashboards.
