I have a soft spot in my heart for teachers-- really good teachers who are committed to their students and teach and love them all at the same time. One such teacher, Mrs. H, a truly gifted Speech Language Patholigist in Florida, will retire after decades of teaching in May.
Mrs. H has had a profound impact on my blog friend Se'Lah of the Necessary Room's daughter so she is hosting a Random Act of Kindness Postcard campaign to reach out to Mrs. H and her preschoolers. She asks...
To provide the children in her classroom some perspective about the global connectedness of humankind, and as a gesture of loving-kindness, would you please join me in sending the class a postcard from your corner of the world? They will track each postcard's point of origin on a world map kept in the classroom. At the end of the school year, the postcards will be evenly distributed to the children as a keepsake from their classroom experience with Mrs. H.
If you'd like to join me in sending these preschool children a *Friends of Makeda* postcard, please email me at necessaryroom@gmail.com and I will gladly provide you their mailing address. Please note that I have Mrs. H's permission to do this. She would like to thank you in advance for your thoughtfulness.

My postcard is already in the mail. Would you please join in sending one too?

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sentiment, not just due to the incredibly fun way of discovering the different corners of the world, but the sentiment of writing as well - as in today's fast paced world, full of emailing and electronic correspondence it is nice - particularly for the new generation - to go back to something so simple, yet so profound as postcard writing.;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind comment on my Tranquility post.;)
xoxo
