It doesn&#8217;t matter they are thousands miles away! The mission  connects us and we act!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together with passionate, talented teachers from Uganda led by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ACoAACM71sgBxNY6I1EgbFrX3cp6b-3Y91ae-CM\/\">John Ssentamu<\/a>  &#8211; a Visionary and the president of Rural Teachers Association.  We have officially proved that providing world class early years education can happen regardless of the place on earth, regardless of tools and educational resources, without investing in modern toys, furniture or fancy design.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Committed early years teachers in Uganda have started their Teacher Training Programme! And they are loving it!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It was totally different from what I imagine on-line lessons would be like! It allowed us a chance to discuss and share ideas.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;The lesson was really fantastic because we learned many new things we didn&#8217;t know&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How long did we need to start seeing results? JUST ONE TRAINING SESSION! Yes, only ONE SESSION was enough for teachers in Uganda to create, adopt, transform, adjust and deliver! Can you imagine?! <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/preschool-naturalbornleaders.thinkific.com\/courses\/Active-Learning-Booster\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blog.naturalbornleaders.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/linkedinpic.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blog.naturalbornleaders.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/linkedinpic.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.blog.naturalbornleaders.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/linkedinpic-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.blog.naturalbornleaders.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/linkedinpic-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.blog.naturalbornleaders.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/linkedinpic-600x450.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This is the power of our <a href=\"https:\/\/preschool-naturalbornleaders.thinkific.com\/courses\/Active-Learning-Booster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ACTIVE LEARNING BOOSTER TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM <\/a>combined with teachers&#8217; deep and genuine motivation to learn.
