Maria Montessori envisioned a classroom where students utilize movement, imagination, and creativity to develop the crucial skills like problem solving and critical thinking.

The organization Children Helping Children, International was created in Columbus and enlists kids in the United States to help other kids around the globe.

Last year 303 blankets were created and sent to Georgia, where the number of kids orphaned from the AIDS epidemic alone totaled nearly 70,000.
