New Moon Foundation and VietHope

In 2010, New Moon Foundation partnered with VietHope to support 100 students in grades 10-12 who meet New Moon’s core values.  
 

New Moon Foundation’s mission is to provide and support charitable, educational & scientific programs that promote the practice of the Foundation’s core values of Gratitude, Respect, Accountability, Courage and Engagement.

• Gratitude – A deep appreciation of life in all forms, valuing both its gifts and lessons. This is the foundation for finding joy in our human condition.
   
• Respect - The practice of awareness and openness to others, new ideas and different perspectives. Respect is the basis for peace and understanding.
   
• Accountability - Taking responsibility for our actions, thoughts and emotions.  Acknowledging our choices and their consequences empowers us to choose again.
   
• Courage - The discipline to be authentic, honest and act with integrity. Courage allows us to grow and realize our true potential and dreams.
   
• Engagement – The intention to wholeheartedly contribute our gifts and skills in a way that benefits our communities and natural environments. This is a natural outcome and test of a values-based life.
