Teachers play a vital role in building confidence and championing inclusion. 📚 This World Teachers’ Day, we’re sharing the inspiring story of Ferdinand and his teacher, Ravaoarisoa, in Madagascar. When Ferdinand experienced bullying because of his cleft, Ravaoarisoa immediately stepped in to teach her class about inclusion. By creating a supportive environment, she helped Ferdinand thrive in the classroom and make friends. "My students are like my own children," she said. "Each one deserves to feel welcome. No one should be left out. As I tell them, we are all from the same place, like branches from the same tree. Now, when I see Ferdinand’s smile every day, I can tell he and his classmates believe that, too."
