International Day for the Protection of Children and Our Involvement in the Nurturing of Young Talents

One of the main branches of work at the non-for-profit organization The Art of Life Community Health Centre, is the development and facilitation of physical and psychological healing and wellness programs for gifted children. These programs make use of the best quality of natural medicine chosen specifically for the unique needs of children. Our choice to participate in their healing will give the kids a much needed chance at becoming free and independent citizens; our choice will determine the extent of their ability to realize their talents infusing life with much joy and harmony!

Music helps our centre fulfill our mission of service to young talents, as the majority of funding for the development of programs for children comes from musical charity concerts. It is not a surprise that our supporting musicians: Rena and Rufat Amiralievs, Vasil Popadiuk, Efim Pustilnik and Naomi Striemer, being themselves talented and realized professionals, have also treaded the difficult path of self-actualization as internationally renowned artists; they understand and they are ready to help gifted children with various health challenges reach their inner-most dreams.

The upcoming benefits concert, organized by the Art of Life Community Health Centre, will take place on June 1st of this year, on the International Day for the Protection of Children, to raise funds and awareness towards the development of much needed programs for young talents encumbered by various physical and social obstacles.

This unique concert will feature the contemporary music of the amazing singer and song writer, Naomi Striemer, named the next Celine Dion. Her inspirational acoustic performances touch the hearts of listeners of all ages. The concert will also feature the much admired jazz musician, Efim Pustilnik, who was playing with the greatest Piano Player in the World  - Oscar Peterson and now has albums ranking in the top jazz music charts. Another budding young talent to share the stage with our professional performers, is Mark Krutik, who even at the tender age of 14 is already remarkably skilled at playing the trumpet. But, the concert is not only intended for music aficionados, but also for anyone wishing to give hope and extend a helping hand to children.

By supporting talented kids, we warm up hardened hearts, bringing forth hope, the respect of our children, friendship and assistance of the community. We believe that participation and joint creativity will bring about a better future, laden with joy, security, new opportunities and abundant kindness.

The concert promises to deliver happiness, but more importantly, the opportunity to take part in helping talented young children with anything that hinders their development.

Come and join us! The kids are waiting for your involvement!

The 'Joined Hands' benefit concert will take place on Saturday, June 1st, 2013 at 7:30pm in the Musical Hall of Christ Church Deer Park located at 1570 Yonge Street in Toronto, M4T 1Z8.

International Day for the Protection of Children and Our Involvement in the Nurturing of Young Talents

When your children are healthy, successful and talented, you, as parents are undoubtedly overjoyed. But, consider the fate of those parents whose child is seriously ill... Of course, they are still grateful for the opportunity to devote themselves to this precious being, becoming, perhaps, his only friends and companions, especially if this child is unable to relate to his peers. Mom and dad will celebrate his every accomplishment, at all art and music lessons, for there are no children who are without talents! We just have to notice and nurture their every spark of creativity, which will lead to a blooming gift.

It is knows that very talented children perceive the world from a unique perspective, reacting to it in a non-standard way, this quality often prevents them from assimilating within their social environment. Their deeply sensitive perception of the world also leaves them extremely vulnerable to it, as the more extraordinary their thoughts and views, the more tension there is between them and their surroundings, and the heavier the stress that falls on their fragile physical and psychological health. However, these are the very children who will determine the course of the future of our planet, and older generations have already recognized the vital importance of these kids providing them with everything in their power on their difficult but crucially important journeys.

Luckily, our own community is not without such enthusiasts, for whom these children are like brightly lit up stars, who can illumine our world, making it brighter and more joyful. We must only not be indifferent this time and extend a helping hand to these children, giving them hope for limitless creative potential!

Each person can find at least a little bit of energy, time and resources to promote the growth of children, to give them, despite an illness, a chance at self-realization, to gain psychological stability, the ability to openly communicate with others and the strength to overcome all inner obstacles. Your help will allow talented individuals to become active members of our future society, offering all of humanity a chance to evolve towards a new level of consciousness.
