Mission Statement
The Messengers of Light is dedicated to promoting the empowerment of people, protection of the environment, and to helping relieve the suffering of those in need.
The foundation of our philosophy is based on four sublime states of well being
- Kindness
- Compassion
- Sympathetic Joy/Goodness and well being of ourselves and others
- Equanimity/Calmness, Serenity
The Messengers of Light believes that the antidotes to mental and physical suffering can be achieved through these states of well being.
Non-Profit
Established in 1996, The Messengers of Light is a tax-exempt 501(c) (3) non-profit organization.
Today, as always, the world needs more voices of understanding, more acts of kindness, and more of the spirit of peace. We take a holistic approach in meeting these challenges. We foster community and the interdependence of all living beings. We believe that all beings are interconnected and part of this giant web of life.
Accordingly, we need to live in harmony with the laws of nature and do our part in helping to reduce mental and physical suffering.
Our Programs
IpeTajy Project, Unleashed Love, and Nature Hikes & Bike are a reflection of this philosophy.
Our goal is to promote and cultivate positive thoughts and actions. This philosophy applies to everyone. From the very young to the very old, of every race, nationality and religion.
IpeTajy Project
IpeTajy Project (Sponsored by The Messengers of Light) was organized in response to the critical situation of abandoned street children in Brazil. The leading causes for displaced children are poverty, domestic violence and drug abuse by parents or guardians.
Unleashed Love
“Unleashed Love” is a program that supports the rescue and adoption of dogs from shelters that would otherwise have been euthanized. As a part of this program these dogs are professionally trained to become Certified Therapy Dogs.
Nature Hikes/Bike
Nature Hikes/Bike supports a program that takes inner city children to guided tours through the local and state parks.
Children that grow up in deprived sections of large metropolitan areas like Southern California have seldom a chance to connect with nature.
