This school kit, helped bring balance back to my classroom.. My students had been going through a hard time and term and being able to deliver this kit to them as a class was very rewarding.. We learnt many things but our main was being connected through things we do within the classroom and ensure they are all heard equally. Thank you for this kit it has been very beneficial and the resources are now used kura wide..
