School in Guinea


 

Bountouraby Sylla School 

 

Now that all four classrooms are finished (this time last year only two of the four were ready) the full school is officially opening this Fall,
under its new name: Bountouraby Sylla School.
This is offered with SO much gratitude to all of our donors and supporters. 
You are supporting a vision of multicultural partnerships, artistic collaboration and development initiatives that honour the autonomy and traditional knowledge of communities in Guinea and around the World.

Thanks to everyone who came and supported the School in a decidedly celebratory way!
Martini's for Matoto was a success! 

Extra thanks to our bartender, Pan.

The Practice of CONFIDENCE
 

Confidence


Confidence is having faith in ourselves and in life. 
We feel capable and competent
We trust that we have the strength to cope with whatever happens. 
Confidence helps us to be free of worry. 

When we are confident in others, we belive in them and rely on them. 
We build self-confidence as we learn from our mistakes and
develop ourselves for the better. 

Confidence brings the strength to try new things, to gain mastery through practice. 
With confidence, we cast off self-limiting
beliefs and doubts.


  We offer our gifts as a worthy contribution
When opportunity comes, we step up to it. 




The Practice of Confidence

I have the strength to face what life brings me.
I act with self-assurance.
I treat others as trustworthy.
I bless my mistakes and learn from them.
I patiently practice until I master something.
I full express my talents and ideas.
I maintain a positive attitude.



I am thankful for the gift of Confidence. 
It allows me to contribute fully and freely.
