Be
a Hero for a Better World every
act of compassion makes a difference!
This
website is dedicated to continuing the legacy of Emily Rachel Silverstein, our
beautiful 19 year old daughter who was murdered on April 9, 2009. Emily's compassion,
passion and creativity touched many lives. She believed that a better world was
possible and was an active leader in the quest for a more peaceful, just and sustainable
world. Please support the EMILY Silverstein Fund, whose mission is to inspire
and empower young people to recognize that each of us can make a difference. www.Emily

The sad truth
is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be either
good or evil. -- Hannah

Try not to become
a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. --Albert
Einstein

We are not myths of the past, ruins in the jungle, or zoos. We are people and
we want to be respected, not to be victims of intolerance and racism.

Guatemala Nobel Peace Prize Winner, 1992
