As I have promised you all I am posting my reaction after our "GreeN Ribbons Ceremony". Let me tell you kids that you really made me feel proud of you, from the very first moment when I showed you this project and you showed me your enthusiasm and good hearted feelings towards this project, I felt this was an experience I would never forget!
What happened that day at the school library and that afternoon on May 14th when we held our ceremony is something that every teacher and mother wishes to feel and experience in a lifetime. The single fact that you were able to stand up there in front of all your beloved and dare to tell them that They DO make a difference to you.... is something that is so EXTRAordinary that really touched our hearts.
Ironic, isn't it? we spend most of our time , most of our days with those teachers, friends and relatives,... and still ,... it is not easy to look at them in the eye and tell them they are important to us!!!.
I hope that now that we are started, it gets easier every day!. Let's keep this ceremony going, cause that day we DID make a difference to those 123 heartfelt members of our audience.
Oh! and we keep on adding advocates to this outrageous project, today I presented this idea to all the teachers at kindergarten and they were so, so eager to help us promote our idea to the little ones!! They said they felt it was such a motivating idea!. They feel so proud of you... as proud as I am!!, because they can see now that you all keep the same enthusiasm and good natured attitudes as the little kids who were once their students.
Miss Chiqui is our number one fan, you could see that last Friday when she came to school early in the mornig to congratulate us all!, Mercedes, Morita, Diana, Filomena, Miss Alejandra and Miss Analia share these same feelings, they have great expectations on us all!! so let's keep up with this hard work!
Let's keep on building bridges in our school!, Things will never be the same, we will chart a new course.... a different one..... a more human one!!!
Here is the video in case you want to share with the ones who couldn`t make it that day...

Hi Miss Alina,
"Who I am make the difference" was an awesome experience to me. You know, as a mother, that the most important award that any person could receive in his entire life is to be recognize by your own son. I am also very proud of Facu, and if I could give a recognition to someone be sure that he "is" the person that I would choose.
Congratulation again (I'd already done it personally at the ceremony). You did an excellent work with the children, and I encourage to continue doing in this way.
Your sincerely.
Jorge Arredondo
