Welcome

I was reading a chinese comprehension passage with my P6 child and was challenged by the message conveyed. I want to share it with you.
A teacher invited the students to come forward and presented a ribbon and badge telling them "You Are Important". After that, each student was given 3 more sets to give away to other people who are important to them. A student thought about a neighbor who had been helping him with his school work and decided to give it the 3 sets to him. This neighbor took it graciously and was briefed to pass the other 2 sets to someone else who are important to him. He thought of his boss who although had been rather grumpy, but was very creative in his work. He accepted it and was thinking about who to give that 3rd set to. When he got home, he went to his son and apologise for not spending enough time with him because of his work commitment and told him,
"You are important."
His son broke down and wept. Through his tears and sobs, he confided that he had actually planned to run away from home that night because he did not know if he mattered to this family. But he did not need to carry out his plan because he knew the answer now.

Each person is valuable and important. But it is unfortunate that many do not feel that way! As It would be appropriate to tell parent volunteers at our Appreciation Lunch, "You Are Important", I thought it would be so meaningful to propagate a positive message in our community. Hence this project is born.

This blog is set up for you to share your own experience of sharing this positive statement with people in your life! Go ahead and tell us. You can bless others with your story too.
