The fundamental goal of E.Y.E. remember is to:
- Rediscover: Hope, dignity, mercy and compassion; manifestations of the divine in our lives and within our selves
- Celebrate our successes and remember and reflect on our challenges and the lessons that we must learn
- Express our story of finding our inner strength and using it to inspire and empower ourselves and others
