“Debbie Goforth is the sort of teacher and mentor that every school wants and every child needs in their lives. Her years of experience in bringing hope to children from hopeless situations qualify her as a bona fide expert on the transformational power of love. Time and again, her stories illustrate the age-old truth that, in the absence of love, the most intellectual words simply fall on deaf ears. She brings the human touch to teaching, sharing wisdom that will benefit anyone who would invest in the life of a child.” |

It was heart warming for me to have the opportunity to attend this type of workshop, because I do not meet individuals who share my passion for the kids who are viewed as "bad". I hope to attend another workshop again."more... |

So, lets give some smiles away. |

I don't know where this journey will take us but I hope you enjoy the ride. Let's start with a motivational quote.
