Bringing worlds together
During this course, the 4th grade boys and girls from Escola Vedruna Cardona carried out a project about our organization through the book “10 stories, 10 smiles”. They have worked on concepts such as empathy, kindness, non-discrimination and the importance of education.
As part of this action, they also received a visit from the Mumbai Smiles team. In this workshop, we were able to explain to the school students the work of the foundation, as well as the reality of boys and girls their same age who live in the communities with which we work in Mumbai.

The inspiring story of Miquel and Kaira
From all this work, they decided to write a story inspired by Mumbai Smiles and that united all the values and concepts they had learned. From this work came this wonderful story that we fell in love with:
This is the story of a boy, Miquel, who travels with his family to Mumbai and there he meets Kaira. This relationship makes him reflect on the importance of being able to go to school and valuing what he has.
