So these are my babies. Please do not tell them I refer to them as babies...they would be so offended. Being a baby is so not COOL!!! Right now I have nine students, that range from the ages 2-4. These children are from all parts of the world: Togo, Nigeria, India, and America. The interseting thing about them is they see no racial or cultural differences between them. The differences they see are height, weight, hand size, etc. When do we condition kids to recognize cultural and racial differences??? I have a little red head girl from America, who has come to Africa and obtained two husbands (aren't kids funny...they immulate whatever they see at home) one husband is Indian and the other is Togolese. If only we could be children and see deeper than race, religion, and culture...maybe LOVE WOULD CONQUER ALL. And this is why I love children.
