Global Awareness, Leadership, and Making a Difference

 Young students at Montessori of Maryknoll
 in Glen Ellyn, Illinois share their compassion

Throughout the 2011-2012 school year, I received stories about the activities of students as they learned about the Azawak and engaged in Amman Imman’s Wells of Love program. Some of these students became involved as a result of their school’s participation. Others initiated their own independent projects, often inspiring and raising awareness in their community. Each story illustrates the blossoming of global awareness and leadership, particularly when coupled with taking action.  
Perspectives expand as youth of all ages learn about the people of the Azawak, gain appreciation for our essential resources, and become empowered to make a difference through helping with Amman Imman’s projects.


This summer’s Wells of Love blog posts will celebrate the achievement and experiences of these young leaders, our Heroes of Compassion.  I'll add the link for each story as they are posted at the end of this post.
