Plant Trees
When you “plant trees” you passionately understand that the little, well planned and guided experiences you offer children now will grow into lifelong attitudes, skills and behaviours – “the shade.” Most probably you will not be around to see your work mature, but continue to work with children and their families because you see the greater good and the bigger picture for them and the world.
