Kids in our Early Childhood Development Programme made elephant masks and showed them off in a parade! They were inspired by the book Elmer by David McKee where a multi-coloured, cheerful elephant explores diversity and inclusion when he tries to change his colours to blend in with the other elephants. In the end, we learn the other elephants love him just as he is and together, they dance and celebrate!
