When the new school year started in September, my son was fortunate enough to have Amber Currie again. I knew the school would have to reject the bake sale because of allergy concerns, but I wanted Mark to learn how to problem solve. I decided to sit back and see where this was going. He went to meetings with the principal and his teacher on his own. Mark was convinced that he could make a difference. It was just a matter of figuring out what he would be allowed to do.
Currie encouraged Mark to spread the word about malnutrition and Africa. With some help, he came up with a presentation on Plumpy Nut that he delivered to his class. He and his brother and sister worked on information posters and school announcements. He settled on hot chocolate and cookies to sell at school concerts. He did flyers to collect donated boxed cookies to keep his costs down.
It was a ton of work and there were lots of bumps along the way, but for me there is one memory that will always outshine the rest. It was really cool! Thanks to Nobody, Mark had been able to start a conversation.

Take co-operation, for instance. By the end of the week the kids were all cheering for him and pointing out his good qualities. Can schools duplicate such an experience? I think the change will stick. I hope it will, anyway! Louis, this conference features presentations by several luminaries in the character development field.
