ยป Thaimy, 5 years old, reading at the Integrity School in Namibia“Children speak varied languages, have contrasting national and regional attire, foods and traditions. But they all have family, games and daily routines that make childhood similar at the core.
Our differences are not so strange; there is beauty and creative power in diversity.”
