After 12 weeks together I bid the students and staff of PSE farewell. I will miss them all but they made my final days very pleasant. It was a wonderful feeling to be approached again and again by students and teachers wishing me the best. The staff even held a small going away party for me on the terrace of the school restaurant on Friday evening.
As I exchanged email addresses with the students I thought about the efforts both they and PSE have made to put their lives on track. Most of these kids, all from very tough backgrounds, are now only a couple of months away from graduating as skilled bakers with very realistic chances of finding a good job. Theirs really are success stories.
I am so grateful to have had an opportunity to even briefly have been a part of such a great organization as Pour un Sourire d'Enfant.
