| Some Highlights from 2010 |
Nakuru, Africa
“Our ambition is to serve all the children of the world: and a wonderful instance is our involvement in the New Canaan transit camp at Nakuru, Kenya. In this camp, housing more than 1250 families, the Montessori system of education and training has been adopted to address the needs of the children and to provide Montessori trained teachers. This project is implemented under AMI’s supervision. It will create a school for 520 children, train 40 teachers and four mentors with the ability to replicate the project. It is likely to become a model for governments and NGOs in similar situations. This “Corner of Hope” project in Kenya is a first of its kind for AMI, and will demonstrate that Montessori for all is a realistic aim! Many other outreach activities were undertaken in 2010 by our training centres, affiliated societies, schools and teachers—engaging with Native American communities, the Shuar Indians of Ecuador, the Indigenous peoples of Australia and disempowered communities, schools and parents all over the globe.”
