2. Title – I make a difference

3. FEEL
 Very often, we live with more criticisms
and less appreciation. This creates a
negative thought process . We wanted to
address this problem and change the
environment and mood of the children
, their families , their school , parent’s
work place and the community at large
, into a positive one .

do a school
project to
see , what
kind of an
impact
recognition
would have
on a
community.

team leader , I
decided to choose
and honour five

had made.Then I
gave them ten
more ribbons to
pass on .

 I gave him ten more
ribbons and
