The Celebration of Struggle: Building Community Through Social Action

Children frequently become a source of hope for the adults who care for them. In Banza, hope was generated by the enthusiasm of the children and their trust in their teachers as they worked together to create the vision of possibility which was projected in the Celebration of Struggle and in Stand for Children. These displays of hope were anchored in the community of support which teachers helped to build year-round in Banza, through the many ways they created relationships to the children and to one another.
