What a better way to spend some time in this last week than letting the whole school watch the 52virtues movie and then presenting a 52virtues screensaver CD as prizes to the children whose artworks are represented in the screensaver.

Over 500 children packed into the Kincumber public school hall and watched the 52virtues movie with lots of giggling, laughing, Oohing and Aahing. One of the favourites with the teachers was Isabel’s virtue of love, and you can see why…

I can’t wait to see other schools around the world developing their own 52virtues artwork projects, what a fantastic way to bring peace and understanding throughout the world.

I have just got off the phone to a wonderful woman, Rupy, who is visiting from Nepal. It seems our goal to have 52 Virtues projects in 52 countries in 52 months will be happening sooner than I thought! Don’t wonderful things happen when you decide to take action and aim to inspire others along the way?

While holidaying on the beautiful beaches here at Copacabana and MacMasters Beach, Rupy met my gorgeous friend Nina who owns Nina’s Little Shop. People can’t help but fall in love with Nina and Rupy and her formed quite a friendship while she was visiting.

Wouldn’t you know it, but Rupy runs a school in Katmandu and is keen to involve her children in a creative project that helps them learn and appreciate different cultures. How perfect is the 52 Virties Project for Rupy and what a wonderful opportunity for children in schools in different countries to work on something in common?

Rupy and I have just been talking and I have been able to send her information and some helpful tools to get her started. There is also the opportunity for Rupy’s school to raise money for educational materials if they decide to work with us to create a screen saver for people to buy through www.52virtues.com.

I’m really looking forward to working with Rupy and her children. I’ll keep you posted as her project progresses.

Cheers

Janet

P.S. If you know of any schools or community groups that would like to start their own 52 Virtues Project, just let me know as I am happy to support them.
