Case Study Bolivia

Cultivating Character in Bolivia

During January 21-22, 2008 at a school in Bolivia, our Director of Character Solutions in Latin America conducted a "Cultivating Character" seminar for 31 teachers. It was a 16 hour seminar spanning two days. All the evaluation comments were positive. These teachers influence almost every student in that school.

The chaplain of the school told our colleague: "I am so excited. It is just what we need. We were trying to teach values during the last five years but we did not know how; many times I felt frustrated. But now, all the teachers are ready to cultivate character in our students."

Character training is a vital component for the personal and social development of all children. Every child needs a moral compass. And for at-risk children it can also be a form of prevention or recovery. To join with others in helping to fund this character cultivation program, Canadian and USA donors may donate online here.
