“I’ve spoken to groups before, but this felt different. The younger kids were actively listening, and engaging. I saw the joy in their eyes and how they admired the kids from Pine Hollow. The longer we did it the more I felt comfortable, and it progressively influenced the kids around us as well. They slowly also became confident.“
