© Thank you for having a heart for people - all people. I want to learn more about your organization and will visit the site again soon!

Susan S. -

© Thank you very much for the website where I can explore the wonderful world of the Human Being. I am currently studying a Double Major in History at the University of Queensland - Australia, and am very interested in the Human Race.

©    I am a blind user. I've only been online on your site for a few minutes and noticed that it is voice friendly, working perfectly with a voice synthesizer and screen reader. I have been looking for this kind of web site for a long time now, and believe that I have found a new home right here.
      I am a volunteer computer teacher. Since getting my computer four years ago, I've been learning from blind friends online. I've accumulated quite a bit of knowledge now and am sharing it with newly blind and multi-disabled people. (1/4/00)
      Thanks so much for your wonderful newsletter! I belong to two large listservs for blind computer users. Would it be alright if I posted this newsletter in it's entirety there? I think that all of us are looking for wonderful easy to access information and that you will get some feedback and readers of your newsletter from our group.
      Keep up the good work, and I along with many others, am looking forward to your next gem! (1/14/00)

Joe T. - Connecticut

© I am a secondary educator in Chesterfield County, VA. I am currently in the process of starting a Tolerance/Diversity Student Club at our school to promote harmony and I am looking for information/resources to help me get this club started. Do you have any suggestions for me? By the way, your web site is wonderful!

Sincerely,
Kristin B. - Virginia

© I was developing activities to do with my 5th and 6th graders. As an extension to a lesson on diversity and tolerance I am going to instruct my students to have a parent or grandparent relate a storyto them of a time when they were confronted with prejudice in their life. I would like to do this and mail my students stories to All One Heart.

Stephanie M. - New Jersey

© I live on the coast of Maine in Boothbay Harbor. It is such a pleasure to meet you! I stumbled upon your website by shear fortune after being SO outraged by the shootings (at the Jewish Center) in Granada Hills, California. I will explore your site to learn more about this problem and what can be done to educate people. I thank you again.

Jennifer D. - Maine

© I was just browsing through the iVillage website, (came upon the All One Heart "Talk about Tolerance" message board) and was so pleased to see that you just grabbed the ball and ran with it in starting up your organization. It is so refreshing, and a wonderful counter to all those Nazi sites one hears about that seem to have so much to do with the news these days.

John M. -

© I think what you're doing is just wonderful! It is also needed now more than ever, with the rise of hate and intolerance echoing through our world community - through gunfire, through hate mail, through the Internet.
I am expecting my first child. Although she has not been born yet, she has inspired me to move beyond complacency. If you can give me a few months to get used to my new "mommy" role, I would like to get involved with your organization by the end of this year/beginning of next year. I am particularly interested in teaching tolerance through the school systems in my area.

Caren A. - California

© The URL for your website was advertised by our Workforce Diversity Programs Manager here at Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space. I think it's a great website with some very good information.

Karen C. - California

© I work with our high school Human Relations Club that was started three years ago by my youngest son, who has since graduated and is attending a VERY diverse college, in the downtown area of Louisville, KY. Even though I no longer have children in school I am very much involved. Race relations, diversity within the schools and the community is my greatest passion next to my family. I will continue to keep in touch with your site and hope to pass on any new info to the high school. There is hope in this world, keep up the good work.

Carol J. - Kentucky

©    Thank you for creating a loving web page. The spirit of All One Heart touches the core of our essence, and there is no division at our essence.
            I am actively involved in supporting Black community organizations to create more support systems dedicated to teaching us to love ourselves. Coming from Middle America, my root education dictates that I should not expect anything from others which I am unwilling to give to myself. I can only share that which I hold sacred. If it is fear, I share my fear; if it is Love, I share my love.
           We know all too well that fear hides behind the monstrous face of hatred. By loving our children, and teaching the power of a loving spirit, the illusion of intolerance dissipates.
           Keep up your wonderful work.

© Hello, I am glad that I stumbled onto your website. I hope that this will be a great big help with dealing with a growing child in our so rebellious society. I am glad as the mother of an 8 year old daughter to be able to tell someone or ask someone things about being a mother of a growing child in this not so safe world.

Pat H. -

© Thanks a lot for your site. It helps people like me who are in situations where they feel as if they are loners in every situation. I go to a High School in Ohio that has only 5 black people attending it and it's really hard being one of the five since a lot of people don't understand that diversity (tolerance) is needed to open up the minds of people in the world. The majority of the population there is white. And to make it even worse my parents are African and a lot of the world doesn't understand that Africa isn't a country with people hanging from trees and etc. It's a country with many things and fortunate people in it. And is some what well to do. It's hard to realize this so-called educated country (America) knows so little. Well thanks for everything that you've been able to do for people like me and maybe one day the majority of the people in the world will think like All One Heart.

Thanks a lot,
Rosina K. - Ohio

© You have a beautiful organization. I can feel it in my heart. I feel I have a calling to help people accept how alike we all are. Skin color is not very significant when compared to friendliness, helpfulness and honesty among other traits.

David S. - California

© I am on my transgender journey. I took the time to visit your site and found it heart warming to find people who don't pre-judge people based on their own prejudice. I have sent your site to my daughter and will send it to many friends, because it does help. I will be visiting often. And I will also post this at your Message Board. (11/23/99)
I hope you didn't mind my recommending your site for an award, I love your site, and often visit it when I feel low. It never fails to help. (12/4/99)

Janet P. -

© I am a student at Eugene Lang College, a division of The New School University, in New York City. I have an interest in anti-racist curriculums due to a growing consciousness of race issues that I am developing as a result of my studies here. If there is any information you could send me so that I might learn more about these types of programs, I would appreciate it very much.

Eric T. - New York

©    Congratulations to you, Michele, and to all the participants in All One Heart. The optimistic message of All One Heart is spotlighted on a new interactive page created by America Online (AOL), Digital City Los Angeles, and the nonprofit Western Justice Center.
      The page is called Dialogues Online: Racial Healing in Our Communities. "I believe that going in to 2000, we are in a more heightened state of awareness of our world and the people in it," Michele Orgell, founder, All One Heart, told Dialogues Online.
      Based in Pasadena, the nonprofit Western Justice Center collaborates with other organizations to improve intergroup relations and to develop new approaches to conflict resolution.

Peace,

© I personally wanted to truly commend you on your cause and what you are doing! Much needed and hopefully with all of our work, we can make this world more tolerable and accepting of our differences!

Warmly,
Cindy L. -

©    Thank you, thank you, thank you for sending the packet of materials regarding the All One Heart organization. What a great idea! I spent a few minutes browsing your website and am thrilled to know that there is an active group which seems to support something I have long believed. I read both newsletters from cover to cover and am simply overjoyed that there are others who believe as I do, that all individuals are unique and special and deserve to be treated equally with all others.
      Also, several of the articles were enlightening and educational. I'm glad I had the opportunity to read them and look forward to future editions of "Heart Beat."
      Thank you for restoring my faith in the inherent goodness of humankind. You have truly brightened my day.

Bonnie F. - California

© Great stuff! Keep banging away at homophobia and handicapism --they're alive and well, and most people don't even suspect they have these deep-rooted bigotry's' until they are faced with people who are gay or are handicapped.

Michael L. - California

© What I would like to say is I'm glad you have this on the internet to teach tolerance of others especially the young kids of 2000 and beyond. Keep up the good work

Nep M. -

© I am very interested in your organization and the plans it has for outreach into local schools. I am a graduate student pursuing my teaching credential and am currently enrolled in an African American Studies course. This course has been wonderful in allowing me to focus in on the powers at work in our culture, which so greatly restrict people of color. I am in the process of gathering data for a research paper that I am writing on the subject of "teaching diversity in the school system". Please let me know more about your organization so that I may include it in my report. This information will be shared with others in my class that are also future teachers, so any additional links that you might be aware of in terms of appropriate curriculum materials and support would be wonderful.
The concepts outlined in your website are wonderful. Keep up the good work.

Somer H. - California

© I was just lurking on the All One Heart, iVillage "Talk about Tolerance" message board and I saw your post about the e-HeartBeat newsletter. I would be interested in getting and reading that newsletter, and maybe if you do take them, contributing an article to the letter. As a M2F TG and a ``lesbian" I am familiar with intolerance, but I have also found an incredible acceptance of myself in so many places.

Debbie L. -

God bless you for the wonderful labor of love that you are doing! Little by little, it will produce great fruits - truly good things always do. Thank you for inspiring me.

Robin B.

© …we're working at incorporating more diversity/teaching tolerance materials into our children's church curriculum. I'm going to write a letter encouraging the subscribers to join you as affiliates. You are doing such a great job, and the information you are providing is done in such a heartfelt way that is very impressive, inspiring, and motivating.

This is to say a BIG thank you for providing information that is easily accessible on this very important subject.

Peace, Love & Blessings,

© Hi, I just wanted to say that your site is absolutely amazing. I organized the anti-racist action Pittsburgh chapter and I'm going to give you a link. I LOVE your books. We're also planning on contributing ourselves by giving elementary schools, library childrens reading groups, childrens hospitals, etc., one new tolerance based book every few months (depending on what we can afford...) per classroom/group and just thought that I'd tell you that I am definately going to be buying your books, they sound absolutely wonderful and are affordable enough.

© Wow, what a heartfelt blessing this site is.
I am a woman just turned fifty and am still on the path to becoming a true human. I love the chance to really be present with another human being when they least expect it. I am just getting started with the net. I believe with all my heart we need to embrace one another and learn what we can while we have the chance. Hopefully I will not miss the oportunities that lay before me. Part of what I pray daily, that my eyes not be judgmental, that my heart be open to all and that I have clarity and be present in the moment.

© I have come across the All One Heart web site after doing a search on tolerance. I am devloping and planning a careers cycle course in our middle school. I have just been hired as a new teacher and must develop a well rounded curriculum for this new, State mandated course in 20 day cycles for each of our grade levels. Of course, tolerance and diversity, along with many other topics, must be covered in the alotted time for this course. I am looking forward to browsing and ordering from the site throughout the coming school year.

© Today I was doing some research on teaching about diversity and tolerance to children for our newsletter, Water on Stone: Women's Ways to Global Change (started last year, it now reaches about 2,000 women) and I came across your website. I really loved it and totally embrace your vision. We would like to mention your organization in our publication and wanted to ask if you would mind if I quoted a little from the "how we got started page" and suggest a few of your ideas for how to practice tolerance now? I wish you every success with your mission.

Warmest regards,
M. Richardson - Virginia

© Aloha...I want to call in an order for several books. Also, I am really interested to read that All One Heart will begin to go into the classrooms of pre- and elementary schools to teach diversity tolerance through your program. I work at a large private school (Pre-School - High School) in Hawaii and would like more information on what you will be doing in classrooms. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Carol K. - Hawaii

© In my employment I work with schools/students/staffs on a daily basis. Recently our company president offered us a challenge for the 1999-2000 school year when we will talk to/with thousands of students. He asked us to incorporate in our talks ideas/thoughts which would touch the hearts and minds of audience and ultimately touch their hands to make them act - thinking less of self (I, me, my, mine) and more of community (we, us, our, ours). In surfing various web sites, I came across your wonderful site and want to thank and congratulate you for your vision/mission to make a difference in a world/ society that is fragmented by greed/lack of morals/materialism/intolerance
/lack of close family units where children are too frequently the victims. Keep up the great work.

I too am a mother (of two children ages 6 and 10) and have had to come to terms with Diversity especially as it relates to not only my children but OUR (the world's) children.

© I teach Child Development at a High School in Northbrook, Illinois. I am completing an in-school teacher course called "Seed" in which we are re-examining diversity. I came across your web site and think it is great. I think it could be a beginning for a class activity. Thank you for your work.

I'm a graduate student at the University of Alaska, Anchorage. I will receive my M.Ed. in adult education. The reason for contacting you was rarely does one hear someone talk about similarities that connect us. I just wanted to drop this note to let you know that soul-sisters and brothers are around.

Antje C. - Alaska

I am a freshman at Murray State University in Kentucky. I feel the concept of "All One Heart" should be spread across all college campuses. So spread the word!!

Leigh - Kentucky

I had no intentions of ever responding to anyone who I may have come across in my journey into the internet unknown, but you had a message that intrigued me so strongly that I had no choice but to respond to you. I never imagined myself discovering another mind in the world that was enlightened in the importance of diversity.

Wow! What wonderful things you've shared. I'm overwhelmed with the wealth of great information you've taken the time and effort and care to find and share with us. It's so very heartwarming and reassuring to know there are good-hearted folks like you in the world who have an empathy and concern for others so far across the country whom you have no other connection with except for being part of the human family.

I'm sending my $15 check TONIGHT to "All One Heart" to assist you in a meager way in sharing the concept and the wonderful attitudes and outlook on life you've exemplified with me.

I want to tell you how much I enjoyed going through your web site. I have 33 years experience in body, mind and spirit therapies. My opinion is that when people fail to respect those that are different, they impose great STRESS on their body, mind and spirit.
