Room 19 students, Mrs Harney and Mrs Yapeter are to be commended for the assembly item that they presented on 19th November. Inspired by the Life Vest Inside Video from the website Kindness Boomerang Room 19 went about producing their own video to celebrate “World Kindness Day” (13th November) through their own “Kindness Boomerang” video.
Life Vest was founded by Orly Wahba who is an educator, entrepreneur, speaker and community activist passionate about motivating people to make the world a kinder place. Orly began her career as a Middle School educator empowering children to see their power to influence the world for good. In 2011, Orly founded Life Vest Inside, a non-profit organization with a mission to empower and unite the world with kindness.
Life Vest Inside gained international acclaim when Orly’s award-winning film Kindness Boomerang went viral. Orly has spoken at TED and has been featured on The Today Show.
The video features Room 19 staff and students, including the songs “Kindness” by Shimmer-Soul Candle; “One Day” by Matisyahu; “Try a Little Kindness” by Sesame Street. The video clip is shown as all students have media permission and is downloadable from Forest Crescent PS “Download Forest Crescent PS Term 3 & 4 Assemblies” (password for families of Room 19)
