"Roots of Empathy can teach the world about how other people feel when being left out and bullied. It also teaches that no one is the same size, shape or colour, and not everybody likes the same thing. I really like this program. I hope you still do the program when I have a kid!"
- Grade 5 Student, Guysborough
