Our endeavor is an enterprise to increase the entrepreneurship of the people. It is an Enterprise for generating Hope, an Enterprise for creating a culture, an Enterprise for arming a community with Knowledge that would propel itself to the future – thus creating a chain reaction of communities helping each other for a common goal – betterment and enhancement. This can only be possible when people are aware of their surroundings and are responsible towards it and willing to engender this awareness in the minds and hearts of others. Our goals are to increase awareness and scopes whereby people help to transform their own economies, creating employment and other ventures and transforming their own lot.
We hope to create a seed and a Template for other regions of the world. This would lead to increase in awareness – of scopes of venture-ship, and thereby helping one another to improve their Socio-economic status. This would empower the communities - and create a village - an entity of self-fulfillment – A Village within a city, a Village within a Village and ultimately a World of Villages!
The Harlem Children Society is directed to encourage entrepreneurship. The goal is not materialistic, but, to inspire the Hearts and Minds of people - Who Hope and Desire to improve their skills and knowledge, to better their own economies, to understand each other, and to increase an awareness, and thus implement a social change for a Better Tomorrow.
This experiment is one which would involve a dream to develop an understanding of one another and enhance ourselves for a better tomorrow, to live in a certain peace and harmony, not only among ourselves, but also, with our surroundings and environment, ultimately it will be a part of a responsible citizenry of our world and universe. Therefore, ‘Harlem’ in our mind is not just a geopolitical identity – but is a certain reality and a certain dream at the same time.
We believe that this is an experiment in research and learning to explore new avenues in the relationship between science and society. It is aimed at researchers who want to challenge the disciplinary boundaries and extend their scientific and personal perspectives by incorporating novel social and cultural aspects into their work. It interfaces the gaps between science and society, and provides a platform for researchers in the sciences who would like to extend their scientific work to cover specific social and cultural questions and perspectives. Our goal is international and Trans-disciplinary in nature. It encourages a break across boundaries between the disciplines and to strike out new paths in the analysis of the relationships between society and science. It will encourage a dialogue between the new social, cultural, political and economic issues.
Our vision is to work with a concept called – “Harlem” – which is not just a geo-political identity, but is a dream of a society for better humanity – of a society of understanding and tolerance of different value systems and ideas, so that we can live in a certain peace and harmony. Therefore, we would like to transform certain issues prevailing in Harlem today with involvement of science and society and move to the – “Un-real” – an idea from the “Unreal-yet’ to a certain “Reality” in the future in the world.
