The Echo Foundation is a non-profit education foundation, co-founded in 1997 by Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel〔() Queens Students Participate In Breakfast Meeting With Nobel Prize-Winner Elie Wiesel〕 and Stephanie G. Ansaldo. The purpose of The Echo Foundation is to serve humanity through education. The organization designs programs for regional educational institutions that enhance traditional curricula and provides learning opportunities for youth geared toward character development. Echo believes that character development is an essential component of academic success.〔() Charlotte gets involved in helping Rwandans〕 The goals of The Echo Foundation are: * Educating for compassion, justice and ethical decision-making * Teaching understanding through fostering relationships founded on respect * Encouraging personal responsibility for humankind * Facilitating opportunities for students to act in accordance with these ideals. ==History== On March 12, 1997, as the centerpiece of the community-wide, year-long, educational Elie Wiesel Project, internationally revered humanitarian and Nobel Laureate for Peace, Elie Wiesel spoke “Against Indifference” to over 23,000 students and adults. He was so inspired by this visit to Charlotte, that, as he left, he challenged the community to continue its focus on the critical issues of human dignity, justice and moral courage. He offered money and his assistance in obtaining speakers and developing programs to address these issues. Thus The Echo Foundation was born. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Echo Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
