Play Again


We just said goodbye to our new friend Sarah, who chose to spend a month on the island for her final practicum placement.  It was so wonderful having her here, and she will be missed.  Here is a link to a trailer for a film called Play Again that she shared with me.  The film explores the consequences that society faces when children are completely detached from the natural world.  Watching the preview served as a sobering reminder of what is happening with the vast majority of children in the western world, and made me appreciate the connection that the island's children have to their surroundings.  Here is a link to the film's website and hopefully some food for thought.  Enjoy the rest of your Easter weekend!  xo
