Raffi on a "Child-Honoring" Society
Raffi: "By the year 2020, it is our daring hope to seed a social revolution that hasn't been tried yet, that has at it's heart the growing child as a universal symbol and reality of human experience."
As a child I listened with rapt attention to Raffi's songs. His gentle, lilting voice sang of the beluga whale, of thanksgiving, and of the the universality of the human experience. Through his songs my compassion and reverence for the natural world and my fellow human beings grew. Now Raffi is dedicating his life to the transformation of our society into a society that honors children.
