​Your donation provides promoting respect education in Southern Minnesota communities for children and adults. We reach approximately 13,000 people each year in the Greater Mankato area with our message of "respect for all regardless of differences." This message lays a foundation for a community where the attitudes and actions of its community members foster mutual respect so that all can fully participate. When all our residents have access and opportunity to the things that can make their lives better, we become an even greater community.

A GMDC Facilitator asked a class of Mankato 3rd graders if they had any stories of discrimination that they would like to share.

A young girl, wearing a traditional Muslim headdress, raised her hand and said in a soft voice that she had been teased, called names, and stared at. She had even been hit, just for having darker skin and wearing the clothing she was wearing. Her eyes filled with tears. When I looked concerned for her, she looked right into my face and said 'But not here, not in Mankato! Here everyone is so good to me, they smile and they sit by me at lunch. We love it here.'"

Isn't this the kind of community we want for all of our children?
