To Promote Respect, Understanding and Compassion
for Humans, Animals and the Environment

Good news for teachers! Farm Sanctuary's Cultivating Compassion program makes it even easier for caring teachers to bring compassion to their classrooms. In an increasingly violent world in which making profits often takes precedence over seeking peace, Farm Sanctuary's Cultivating Compassion program offers materials designed to encourage respect and kindness toward all living beings and the environment. Farm Sanctuary is pleased to provide these resources FREE to teachers.
