Il Villaggio Dei Bambini 童の村

Next Tuesday, June 17th 2025, I'm going to visit Shodai-nursery school in Yanagawa. Shodai is one of the Japanese Reggio inspired school♪

(I forgot. Did I write this???)

In Osaka, I also visited Codomonoart (Shōjaku Site). Their atmosphere is so warm and safe. Naturally, in there, I could feel, “I can be who I am here♪"

I know, many things go and gone... But, I'm looking forward how this precious place will develop!

Yesterday was Reggio Symposium! I was, and still now, I'm so happy to be able to meet all those dedicated educators and yeah! Everyone! Even my HK students were there✨️

I'm thinking of “Learning.”

I met this quote.

“True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own.” — Nikos Kazantzakis

I like this.

I'm back to Japan, trying to settle in the life here.

Last few days, I've been meeting some “Free School” people. One person mentioned about “Neill,” so I guess this movement from England, Summerhill School.

I was surprised by meeting this movement in my hometown.

And, I noticed that, education issue is same in Hong Kong nor Japan.

Anyway...

Cloud.

I realized that I didn't watch cloud, just watching cloud, cloud moving by wind, cloud changing its shape... for a long long time.

Yeah,

I was the person who likes to watch cloud, watch stars, watch trees...

I started feeling I'm back to home.

Tonight, 9:00pm HK time, we will have a Zoom test run.

Almost to start our online course!

I love this one.

Thank you for all your support and understandings!

I worked in Hong Kong for 14 years. And, finally, I'm going home.
(Ah, this is Mabo writing.)

I could meet so many nice people here. Yes, I really think, you should proud to be a 香港人. You guys are really, beautiful people.

Also, I could find so much beautiful nature here. I enjoyed touching 釣鐘王, looking at 高體鰟鮍, etc. They are Hong Kong's real treasures.

So, I'm leaving Hong Kong... But, many parents asked me if I could keep online or somehow to continue providing my education for Hong Kong parents, children, educators.

Thus, now I'm transforming “Villaggio dei Bambini, ” to a larger community, “The Village.”

It's not just for children. But also parents, educators, and our neighbors.

I will be in Japan.

But, it doesn't matter where you live. What you believe.

This community is for anyone who wants to join us.

But, I ask only one thing,

“Believe in your child.”

That makes us.

So, if you are curious what we are doing? If you wanna join us???

Let's make this community together!

I actually need your help!

So, please feel free to contact me.

【Mother's Day Sharing】

The other day, I was talking with one of mom,

“The most beautiful thing in HK?”

I chose those two.

1. 元洲仔 Sun Rise (summer time)
2. 大帽山 Night View (winter time)

Those experiences, I can't show by photo, but... it's my sharing.

Happy Mother's Day♪

Because of student's interest, we went to Sai Kung, Volano Discovery Center, to learn more about Hong Kong volcano.

Their curator, Arthur, was very kind to answer all our questions.

I had no idea, this place used to be a super volcano! Now, I see the same Sai Kung ocean, but I feel it's a different view.

And, we found volcanic rocks♪

Thank you Arthur, parents, and everyone who support our children's learnings!
