And so, my question is answered. Thank you for joining me on this journey of discovery. I was fascinated to read the above quotations directly from Maria Montessori’s own handbook. By the way, the other snippet of information that I discovered in this exercise was that the thin outline was never originally intended to be blue. Maria Montessori describes it as “in the third series, however, the geometrical figures are instead outlined only in black ink.”
Enjoy your work with the children of the universe, here’s looking to a bright new future.

There is no story more pertinent to Madiba’s call to action than that of “Where Rainbows Meet”. Mymoena Scholtz, the Director, began her work among the crime-ridden, multicultural communities of Vrygrond in 2008. She picked up the call to action from Madiba, “Take action. Inspire change. Make everyday a Mandela Day”. Against all odds, this haven in the midst of this poverty stricken community thrived. Her vision is to focus on the children, helping them to hope and to build a stronger community for themselves and others through the service of others.

Obviously, a strong immune system is the No. 1 barrier to surviving the Corona Virus attacks.
