Two years went by as we were confined to our homes, trying not to catch the Covid Virus. Many people did catch it, fortunately most people have survived.
We should be extremely grateful that we have our basic needs: home, food, health, family and a school were we can be happy again. Being here, among your classmates and teachers is a blessing indeed.
There are children in another part of the world who are not as fortunate as you are, as we are.
The children of Ukraine have been living very difficult circumstances.
Perhaps you have watched the news on TV, or have heard adults talking about what is happening in that country.
It would be wonderful if all the people of the world lived in peace.
Can you think of ways to create peace in the world?
How do you think peace begins?
What can you do as children to promote peace?
Some years ago we got together to send aid to the children of Iran; we donated money to an organization called White Helmets, do you remember?
Now is the time to unite again and practice our generosity and be compassionate towards other children who need our help.
We are trying to find out what is the best way we can help the children of Ukraine, and as soon as we know we will inform you and your parents. I hope you find it in your heart to be kind.
Do not hesitate to talk to your parents about your feelings. If you have a question, ask. Always ask.
You are always in my heart and send you lots of virtual hugs and best wishes.
