I was recently made aware of a touching story of service and want to pass it along to our school community. Read "Special Delivery," the August 5 post on the blog of Jill Nawrocki, a Peace Corps volunteer in Namibia.
The "two little girls" that Jill writes about are sisters Abigail (a rising first grader) and Catherine (who will enter pre-k this fall) and the unit on Africa that she mentions is one of the annual highlights of our kindergarten year.
Service indeed begins at home . . . and is nurtured at school . . . and extends around the globe. How heart warming to know that a simple act of kindness on the part of two young girls is helping so many more girls in Namibia. As Jill writes so well, ". . . even the littlest ones among us have the potential to do big and selfless things."
