Cari Veronika, Jürg and team of the Scuola Vivante
First let me say sorry for my writing in English, I did not forget my (poor) german but It would take me ages to write this mail and for writing to you pretty late.
These last 2 months were very intense and amazing at the same time. Francesca and Chiara had to find out and cope with so many new things: a new environment, a new language, a new landscape, an English language school, very different from what they were used to, with nearly 200 students and many teachers, and no old friends to share all of this with. Enough to hard testing an adult!
Francesca and Chiara not only did their best to handle the situation, they perfectly managed it and fit themselves into this new life without fears, positively and motivated. I am really so proud of them and you should be too, we all know that it is thanks to the Scuola Vivante teaching that they could achieve it.
The years they spent at the Scuola Vivante will be forever with them, will dwell in their minds, and hearts, wherever they will be and whatever the will do; what they learned with you is not only something you can find in the books and that can be easily forgotten, it is something that goes beyond, it goes straight to the individual and grows within together with the needs, the attitudes, the self-consciousness; they were thought to know and trust themselves.
Thanks to you all, as I always said, if there were a Scuola Vivante for every child, this would be a much netter world to live in.
