The HVF in the USA
I was invited to join the Human Values Foundation (HVF) in the U.K. as Special Adviser to the Board of Trustees. My role so far has been to help raise funds and awareness of the HVF's values programmes in the U.K.
This important work is now beginning to spread in the U.S.A., where I am based for much of the time. In September 2006 I established an office, which can be used as a postal address for HVF activities in North America –
550 Park Avenue, 8W, New York, New York 10065, U.S.A.
This contact address may prove useful while consideration is given to forming the Human Values Foundation (USA).

I have been fundraising for the Human Values Foundation for several years now. In conjunction with Natalie Spencer, who is also promoting the HVF's values education programs in the United States, we have been able to pilot programs in a number of schools.
I have been involved in the adaptation of both the Education in Human Values (EHV) and the Social and Emotional Education (SEE) programs for the United States, so that they are suitable for our education market.
Once we can establish the EHV and SEE programs in a few schools in the United States, then fundraising here will become a lot easier. We hope to create the Human Values Foundation (U.S.A.) in the near future.
