"Believe in yourself and work hard!" Natasha
"I am really impressed for your enthusiasm to do such a great thing for children. X was really happy and relaxed when we got home. I really hope that you can achieve what you planned, and hopefully this thing will become regular . I do believe there are so many children that need help in expressing their feelings, and learn great skills. I could see that all members of the team were so passioned of what they were doing , and I believe that will help children to be more confident and independent. I take this opportunity as a blessing and looking forward for the next meeting".
