Pashmina P Hearts to be Heard Ambassador
When I met Judy O’Beirn the union was definitely written in the stars. When she approached me about Hearts to be Heard, I was very excited. My passion, besides being an author, is to inspire children through the arts. My background as a Theatre Arts teacher made me want to be part of Hearts to be Heard. My “Soul” purpose is to teach and lead our new generation, how to live in a world that is inclusive, no matter what gender, age, ethnicity or ability; and this is what Hearts to be Heard is giving to me. I am honoured to be an Ambassador and be part of this collaborative, imaginative and powerful establishment who truly believes in focusing on children’s abilities rather than their setbacks.
Children are our future and we all need to lead them in a positive and fruitful way. The arts have indeed given Hearts to be Heard the doorway to voice our children’s creativity.
