The "Builder of Brotherhood and Sisterhood" Activity
What have we learned about tolerance, diversity, and universal friendship? This is an opportunity for students to express their feelings about the importance of building bridges of respect among people of different backgrounds in words, art, or deeds. ELC "Builder of Brotherhood and Sisterhood" certificates and souvenirs are awarded to all participants at the final student lunch.
