Contest winners received free admission to the museum for Family Gathering Day with Jane Goodall, Sunday, August 27. Youth, Age 15-18 Founded in 1977, the Jane Goodall Institute makes the connection between the health of one species and the well being of all living things. The Institute's research, conservation, and education programs have created a worldwide network of individuals who are joined in their commitment to improving life on earth. With Dr. Goodall's words and example as guiding principles, the Jane Goodall Institute inspires hope for a brighter future. Every day in the tree house wasps build their nest over and over again.
People are also strong and resilient.
When I get sick or hurt I always heal. My reason for hope goes back to my favorite book when I was a kid, Curious George. George was a little chimpanzee who got into lots of trouble by being curious. The man in the yellow hat always saved him, but he also always learned some sort of lesson by being curious. As long as we remain curious there will always be reason for hope.
