"Creating - that is the great salvation from
suffering and life's alleviation."
— Frederich Nietzsche. Thus Spake Zarathustra

For
five years, Eagles founder and chairman, John Wareham, the
chief of Wareham
Associates,a prominent New York leadership selection and development
firm, served as an unpaid weekly volunteer teacher to prison inmates
at the Rikers Island Correctional Complex. He created an innovative
class, How to Break Out of Prison, and a book of the same title
(published by Welcome Rain, New York). Impressed by the talent of
his class members, and inspired by founding Eagles Kenneth Johnson
and Joseph Roberts, Mr. Wareham created the Eagles Foundation to ensure
that outstanding individuals fulfill their potentialities, and return
as volunteer teachers and productive citizens to serve as role models
to others. |
