Dear Friend, Greetings from Jhamtse Gatsal Children's Community! We hope you and your loved ones are well. While August tends to be a school break in most parts of the world, it is a beautiful time of life finding its rhythm and pace at Jhamtse Gatsal with the school session well underway.  Today's story comes to you from our littlest ones at Jhamtse Gatsal. There is so much we can learn from them. As one of my all-time favorite book titles by Robert Fulghum goes: All I Really Need to Know, I Learned in Kindergarten. This is that kind of a story :)   YOU are making transformative learning possible for our changemakers of tomorrow. We hope you enjoy the story and the photos below. To echo Anita, our Kindergarten teacher's thoughts, I feel together we are doing a pretty good job! Thank you for your support and for being on this journey with us.  With love and gratitude, Vasudha Wanchoo Managing Director Jhamtse Gatsal Children's Community Free Play For Bonding in Kindergarten by Anita K., PreK and Kindergarten Teacher This year, five new children joined my class. On their first day of school, they were shy and quiet. Some of my older children tried to help make the younger children comfortable. Seeing them uncomfortable, I decided not to do anything academic that day. Instead, I kept the entire day unstructured, so they could explore the classroom, do whatever they felt like doing, and connect with each other and me.  Click to read more Pasang Needs Sponsors!
