Building bridges, breaking barriers to build a peaceful world is an ingrained Montessori philosophy. Very happy to share that Al Qamar Elementary kids have a pen pal program with the Montessori School of Maui in Hawaii, USA.
Al Qamar students first wrote letters - describing themselves, their interests and favourites - like any an every 8 year old in the world. The letters took painfully long to reach - what with Christmas Break there and Pongal break here. Then came the replies - enthusiastic, colourful, descriptive.
The connection between the children who have never seen each other, never spoken to each other, is just just heartwarming. And inspiring.
