The power of passion!

As a child, I always wanted to be a teacher and pretended many a time to teach my dolls on a sofa. And as I grew up, I got to play teacher with my friends, teach poor children on the street how to speak and write English and volunteer to conduct drama programmes for children in schools. All this while my passion for creative art, drama and conversation instruction made me want to be a teacher all the more. Finally after I completed all of my education, I did have the opportunity to work as an art teacher, a drama teacher and a kindergarten teacher in India.

Now, after 22 years of being in the states, I find myself following my passion once again, having the incredible opportunity of using "We Flap" as a tool in teaching philanthropy to 4th and 5th grade students at an elementary school in Austin, Texas. These past several weeks of teaching have been an enriching experience for me and I am really looking forward to meeting all of my students tomorrow to discuss our topic - How wise children with just pennies can make a HUGE difference to our world?
