“The distinctive value of this Toolkit is that it strengthens the understanding of the holistic nurture and well-being of children where spirituality is the core on which other capacities could be built. I do hope and pray that this Toolkit reaches families around the globe to help children to thrive from early years and reach their full potential, experiencing ‘fullness of life.’”
