Easter Island) & Hawaii (USA).

Firemen are necessary but work in emergency situations... ATI seeks to reduce the task of humanity's firemen by treating  ahead the causes of its wounds rather than trying to care after problems appear. This is what seems to me so valuable in ATI : before being influenced and definitely shaped by their close environment, children working with us have the opportunity to know about children living on the same planet but having a different culture, lifestyle, vision of life. This can prevent them from misunderstanding, fear of difference, intolerance, xenophobia... This can be the way for a better world and I want to be part of it!
