Under the theme, “A Portrait of Hope & Peace,” this unique DVD presentation features the remarkable skills and talents of young students and scholars from Suriname at the AlphaMax Academy. Their aim is to inspire other young adults and people worldwide with a renewed vision of idealism for a peaceful and better world.
Celebrating over two centuries of great oratorical statements – and at the same time grounded in classical values and traditions – “Great Thoughts, Great Minds, Great Moments in Time” includes excerpts of speeches from Haile Selassie, Chief Seattle, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Patrick Henry, John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Rabindranath Tagore, and President Barack Obama.
The Presenters are 18 English-speaking scholars (ages 16 – 19) who have attended the AlphaMax Academy in Paramaribo, Suriname.
HOW IT CAME ABOUT
Starting in September 2008, and culminating in 2012, Advanced English and History students suggested that the Academy create a presentation to reflect their hopes and ideals as young people seeking a harmonious and better world. These students were deeply inspired and enlivened by their scholastic work in two classes, “Modern History through Speeches” and “Living Values.”
Out of this crucible, senior members of the English and History faculty created the showcase presentation “Great Thoughts, Great Minds, Great Moments in Time” which was first presented to an appreciative and packed audience at the Patronaat in Paramaribo, Suriname.
Enjoy and be equally inspired!
