Hello Like Minded Friends, The following important unique children's project has been brought to my attention by a friend and supporter in Canada, Please see a copy of an article which was sent to me.

THE BLOSSOM PROJECT

How children can be ambassadors of change.

The Blossom Project was born out of intensely energetic discussion during a Toronto gathering of the Alliance For A New Humanity. The project is the brain child of Kim Klingler, a Toronto mother, whose passion is helping children to achieve their highest potential and in so doing, change the world. Recognizing the immense potential in children, Kim began with one Toronto school, hoping to inspire the children - the "roots of society" - with heart based wisdom and experiential tools. The program was a success and the Blossom Project has been blooming ever since.

As a mother of two young girls, it was Kim's intention to introduce pre-school and elementary school children to the marvelous benefits of meditation, enabling them to experience the magical truth of our interconnectedness. The chilren readily embraced the belief " that peace was not to be found in a fuzzy blanket, but rather, it was inside of them waiting to be chosen", Kim says "The discovery enables the children to recogniize that they hold hold the Power for Change, to transform our world. It is very inspiring to watch twenty Grade One children sit in meditation for 15 minutes.

Blossom children learn how to connect to their inner compass, a place inside, where they can foster confidence, sharpen attention and harmonize with their true being and with the world they participate in. Blossom has a unique tool - base program - married with powerful stories creating opportunities of discovery, raising awareness and opening children's hearts to the magical interconnectedness of all living things. Blossom children discover how their thoughts and choices create reality, affect the reality of others, and ultimately the world.

These children are not only living the change, they have become the ambassadors of change. An entire community of change has been created through the children, and Blossom now has mentors comprised of mothers, fathers, community leaders and retired elders, who bring a wealth of wisdom to the program. "The project is growing and my heart is rewarded with every flicker of realization in each childs heart" Kim says.

Blossom children soar through a collection of experiences, activities and tools that cultivate their transformation, enabling them to "Be the Change" they wish to see in the world. For Further info contact Kim direct @ "Kim Klingler" or visit their site @ http://www.blossomproject.ca

This project has my full support, and I wish it could be extended to the homeless street children, and teenagers, to help them to change and rehabilitate their lives, not only in Canada but throughout the world. More Later Mike Tenerife
