Abdu’l-Baha was the eldest son of Baha’u’llah. When Abdu’l-Baha passed away on 28 November 1921, He was eulogized as One who led humanity to the “Way of Truth,” as a “pillar of peace” and the embodiment of “glory and greatness.”
Across Australia young people are participating in an endeavour that strives to give them a voice in today’s society. Through the Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program, these junior youth groups are enhancing their power of expression, sharpening their spiritual perception, analysing the constructive and destructive forces of society and changing their surroundings through the service projects.
In this TEDx Hillsborough Library talk, Emily Goshey describes the Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program (JYSEP). She discusses its core values and shares some of the lessons learned in the group she animates. If you’ve already watched our 57 second introduction to the JYSEP, and are curious for more information, this video is comprehensive and well articulated.

Wonderful presentation sighting the impotance of tutoring not to use negative words in tutoring junior youths as well as the basic foundation of being truthful in their life.
How well rounded this lady is (no pun intended)! Intelligent, eloquent, service-oriented and spiritual. How blessed is the child (born by now) to have such a mother.
