?With LVE they (children) changed so quickly that you can notice which value worked well. Parents also notice the difference in schools dealing with
LVE. There is no fighting at school. Teacher-pupil relationship is good. Polite language at school. Parent-teacher relationship is good. Children miss
being at school all the time for there is love, peace, freedom and unity.?
Catherine Kanyi, Skeats Junior School ? Nairobi, Kenya Ages 3-7

LVE he became a new boy. I can now count on him to help in class and resolve his own conflicts. This is a great program.?
Jennifer Hart, Seoul International School ? Seoul, Korea Ages 5
?I had one boy in class who was very mean and reserved. Every morning the children created stories and songs about love and sharing. Before going home we dramatized for 5 minutes. Within few weeks, the boy changed drastically, both in behavior and academically. He is now one of the best well-behaved in class.?
Mary Njuguna, Shah Lalji Nangpar Academy ? Nairobi, Kenya Ages 5-6
?They are well-behaved and very courteous. They are able to re-correct themselves whenever they make a mistake. They are aware of good manners and restrain from hurting others. They are responsible students and don?t need the teacher?s guidance all the time. They are very loving and sharing.?

This makes their academic work improve.?

?In the beginning of this year a few boys showed bad behavior. Having implemented the program and introduced a ?star? to them they have forgotten the fighting, hitting, kicking, etc. and are now either lovable, happy, respectful or tolerant stars. I am so excited that this program is working for me as I do not get so stressed out.?
Khatija Banu, Rangrage Pre Primary ? Pietermaritzburg, South Africa Ages 4-5

Nathalie Nassar, A.C.S. ? Beirut, Lebanon Ages 6-7

Raphael Ngigi, Hospital Hill School ? Nairobi, Kenya Ages 6-7
?We have found the class developing so well and the boys and girls have really changed in helping one another, caring for one another. In fact the value is a high class because it makes the children able to handle things together and it makes them know that they can share things together and appreciate one another.?
Milka/Esther, Kings School Nairobi ? Nairobi, Kenya Ages 5-6
?One boy could not do anything in class because he feared the others who were doing better -- but the moment the class started practicing ?unity? and the other children worked together through unity the boy gained courage, believed in himself. Now he is doing very well academically and socially and also in speech. Thank you for the value.?
Milka/Esther, Kings School Nairobi ? Nairobi, Kenya Ages 5-6
?My student pupils never respected their classmates before I taught them about the value of respect. To them only the junior people should respect the senior people and not visa versa. Also to them people of the same age should not respect one another. After teaching them about this value of respect, they have learned to respect their classmates, age mates and the rest. Cases of fighting, abusing stealing have really reduced.?
Florence Adude, The Kings School Nairobi ? Nairobi, Kenya Ages 7-8
