The Key to Happiness is Gratitude

It is especially important for our children to remind themselves of all the good things in their lives - even during difficult times. This is why we've been working with a special companion for a couple of years: the 'my new life'-book that has kindly been provided to us by Pallas.

Last week, the students got the chance to start their own book. With the help of Shavin, a motivated young woman from Khanke, they took their first steps on their journey of gratitude. First, they talked about the meaning of gratitude and about why it is so important. Then, every child began decorating their very own binder - colourful, creative and very personal. With a lot of curiosity, they added the first couple of pages for the ten upcoming weeks and started writing their first entries. Seeing the excitement in the children's eyes was simply moving. Suddenly, they were aware of all things - big or small - in their lives that they were grateful for: A smile, friendship, a beautiful song or a helping hand.

We'd like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Pallas for their long-time support! Because of your help, we are able to send children on their path with not only education, but a strong and grateful heart as well.
