 Help Stop Bullying and Find Kindness
From Team JAB
We recently heard about an incredible award-winning documentary called Finding Kind, made by two young women who are Pepperdine University graduates, about the "mean girl" phenomenon and bullying. They traveled the country to speak at schools and listen to stories about the impact that bullying has had on its victims. They have documented it in a way that will move and inspire girls to be kinder to each other. To check it out, click HERE. The cost is $500 for a school to use the DVD for two screenings, which can be shown to a variety of audiences. JABBERS are all about kindness ... let's share this important message with our children and their friends. Special thanks to JABBER Amy Zambrano for the scoop!
