new work shop

Hi everyone,

It was very nice to meet a few of the parents today at Communidée.
I'm very exited of the possibilities that is offered to us, let's continue the work that Sonya has started by being creative and coming up with fresh and innovative ideas to give our kids and ourselves a better world to live in.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN EXACTLY ?!?!?!?!

Good question !

The answer would be : I'm not too sure, but I sure have a few ideas and some proposals to offer... What I want this work shop to be about is just that, let's all put our thinking hats on and come up with daily subjects which EVERYONE is effected by and talk, argue, comment, suggest, cry and laugh over them... until we find solutions or at least have a much better understanding of it.

Who knows what can come out of this, the possibilities are endless.

What I would love to come out of this is the participation of our kids, it would have to be topics chosen by them and they will be given center stage in this work shop. Us adults would have to restrain ourselves of getting too much involved(me first).

All parents are encouraged to be present and be a part of the discussions.

I'm not too sure how the language issue will be dealt with but I'm sure we will work it out, I'll make sure that all kids present will feel that they are a part of this.

If you have any questions, concerns, comments or recommendations to make, DO NOT hesitate to call me.

My cell is 514-568-2990, call me at this number were I can be reached at all times and I will call you back from a phone. My name is Rafi.
