Emotions,awkwardness during our first virtual meeting...But we believe that, without the courage to try something new we cannot progress...

Many questions, some of them spelled out, others no...The children understood that, no matter where they live, they have a name, games and favorite toys, they have the right to knowledge, to education! By using this language, English, the children use their mind more, they develope their self-esteem in self-confidence!
