So excited to be working with Roots & Shoots-Kenya! A dream come true! Posted by Roots & Shoots-Kenya: Roots & Shoots-Kenya, is happy to work with The Olymp-i-a Challenge was recently featured and described on Ashoka’s “Start Empathy” blog: startempathy.org/blog/2013/06/linking-empathy-health-green-living-and-peace. The "i" and "a" in "Olymp-i-a" stand for positive "ideas" and "actions" for peace, green-living, and health. When children and youth practice positive ideas and actions in these 3 areas, they develop empathy for self, others, and the Earth. The Challenge supports the principles of Roots & Shoots programs. It is critical that children and youth recognize their roles as active contributors to peace, green-living, and health; practice and strengthen positive choices based on empathy; and understand that their daily simple steps do make a difference.
