A short story
Though I am a Buddhist I attended a Catholic convent school as a child. I see similar philosophy shared in both religions. Don't you?
Still Mind & Deep Thoughts
Thoughts of Venerable Cheng Yen (Zhengyan) shared by Ipohteh on SlideShare.
Fables? Write your own.
All religion teaches about doing good. Think about a moral educational story you have heard before and create a fable out of it.
That feeling of security in belief.
All religion teaches you to feel a sense of security in accepting it. Don't you think so?

Moral education is boring?
Moral education can be fun if you can find a way to engage the students. What form of media would they prefer to learn from?
Take a look at a book of cartoons created by Bro. Oh Teik Bin from Teluk Intan, Malaysia on ToonDoo.
Do you think it will work? Try to create your own methods based on the interest of the children under your care.

Similarities in this religious teachings
The sign that you see on the first slide represents the "sacred" Hindu sound om (ohm or aum).
Do you see any similarities in this teaching to that taught in your own religion?
This is not unlike an advise against having attachments in Buddhist teaching. I do wonder if this teaching came from the same source but now appears in different form through reincarnations.

Start with a cause.
What is the best way to reach out? Start with a cause. What is bothering you at the moment? Can't think of one? Find out what is bothering:
1) your family members
2) your neighbours
3) people around you: your friends, classmates, teachers
4) people you dislike
5) you
Let's start with a global issue; proverty.
When you have a cause, you can take action.
If you do not have the solution at the moment just start by creating an awareness for what you belief in.

Learn from the unexpected.
Sometimes all we have to do is to look at what are around us to learn some values. Learn from the unexpected to teach. That should make learning interestesting.
Let's start with the pencil.
Is that all the values we can teach with pencils? You can teach them how to be creative with it and I am not talking about sketching.
That is what taking care of the environment is about. Re-use when you can and reduce usage by writing online.

Don't loose your knowledge and experience. Share them online.
