The seeds have been planted

Today is Tu b’Shevat and we are celebrating the beginning of new life, a new cycle, and we plant trees for the next generation. What better moment than this one to start planting the seeds of change with the help of an incredible team sent to us by SOS International.

Today was only the beginning of an amazing and I am sure very inspiring week: we got to see how a simple thing like a pitcher can make a child feel independent and confident – thank you so much for this present! We took a moment to dream and to see how far we can go by watching eye-opening movies of kids from Reggio Emilia Kindergarten in Italy and realized how important is to be aware of whose voice you hear in the classroom and also what kind of message you are sending to the kids through your actions. What my actions tell my kids now is: I am the master of all the knowledge and I will give it to you when I think you are ready for it, but what I want to transmit is: you are born with curiosity and incredible intelligence and I am here to help you be aware of it by trusting you to discover the world by yourself.

I am extremely excited to see what tomorrow will bring! The seed is planted, now we have to water it and allow it to grow!
