If I can try out my ideas, experience what's around me, share what I find;
If I have plenty of time for my special pace, a nourishing space, things to transform;
If you'll be my patient friend, My trusted investigator, Partner in learning;
Then I will explore the world, discover my voice and tell you what I know in a hundred languages Pamela Houk

Teaching the children to use their 'Right to Talk' to conflict resolve and understand their 'Right to Protection'.

When you work with us you keep the future potential of all the children in our minds. This is a story of our vision, our hope for our young children today as tomorrows adults...

My name is Maria and today I am 18 years old. I have learned that my name is important, it is who I am and I am free and today. I have the right to vote. I am on my way to vote because being part of a democracy is important to me.
As I cross the road on my way to the polling station I decided to take the route through the gardens. I have always had a love of nature. I stop to smell the flowers and leave them growing as we need to look after nature. I observe the people around me looking down at their mobile phones while I gaze up at the wonderous trees and sky.
I cast my mind back to when I started loving nature and recall attending Forest School I my preschool. It was there that I also learned about my Rights. The right of education through education, my right to protection using the Peace table to resolve conflict through language. I learned to use my voice there and how powerful my voice can be. I learned I was born with these rights and no one can take them away from me. We practiced being in a democracy by voting for the things we wanted to do and accepted that in a democracy we have to accept that the biggest number gets it.
I remember at 2 years when I started there a feeling of being safe and loved in a lovingly extraordinarily prepared environment with a low number of children to high number of caring capable teachers who all made an impact on who I am today.
At 3 years I remember an abundant love of learning. I was full of wonder and awe and my teachers inspired me by fuelling the fire of my imagination.
At 5 years I remember I did not want to leave but I knew that my teachers, friends and I are connected with invisible strings made of love and wherever I am I can feel them with me. It was time to move on, but I am ready equipped with the best possible start to life and learning.
At 10 years I was diagnosed with dyslexia which is a different way of learning but that's alright as I have the same rights as everyone else regardless of my "disability". I learned that too at my preschool.
Today I am bubbling away with ideas, I start my University degree soon and am so excited as there is so much I want to do and achieve in life. I ponder my ideas. I know I have the power in me and no one can hold me back. Why do I know that? I remember from an early age, at my preschool my teachers taught me that I can do anything I put my mind to. They taught me independence and we sang the song, the power in me that still plays in my head today.
As I cross the road to the polling station, enter the booth, make my X and cast my vote, it hits me like a flash, something that I have known. Been taught from an early age... what do you do with an idea and the best start in life?... You change the world!
