Love to the Children of Ukraine… and Everywhere

Everyone talks about peace, but no one educates for peace. People educate for competition and this is the beginning of any war. When we educate to cooperate and be in solidarity with one another, that day we will be educating for peace.

A Facebook story from a Waldorf School in Ukraine, posted less than two weeks ago, described the happiness adults and children were feeling as they celebrated signs of spring, and simple joys of nature. Here’s part of what they wrote:

“Long, cold nights have passed, the first breaths of spring are in the air…

So, the kids and I made crackers out of dough, decorated them and called for birds…What a joy to hear the joyful and already spring singing of birds. And to see a peaceful sky over our country.”

Here is the full post.

We are certain you join us as we say our hearts are with the children of Ukraine, and, indeed with children everywhere in our world.
