Did you know that there are now more than 1,000 Waldorf schools around the world? The international movement for Waldorf education is growing exponentially as parents in vastly varied cultures are seeking a more holistic form of education that honors the whole child —head, heart, and hands.
“Sunday With Sarah” will be on hiatus until June 29. Click on this week’s video to learn why! I hope to have lots of stories to share and some incredible videos for you when I return.
Here is a link to the Waldorf school for the Samburu children that I will be visiting.
In the meantime, my wonderful and capable assistant, Sarah McLean-Anderson, will be holding down the fort at Bella Luna Toys during my absence to ensure the same level of personal customer service that our customers have come to expect.
What adventures do you have planned this summer? If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why? I’d love to hear your dreams!

Oh please take some pictures from those schools if you can! I am very curious about your trip.
Isn’t it great how Waldorf education encourages and supports local culture throughout the world. It must be a great experience to see and hear children in different countries recite their local poems and verses.
Have a great trip!

I plan to, Maggie! And also hope to record some video.
It’s always a tricky thing to take photographs when visiting any early childhood program. One shouldn’t make the children self-conscious or take them out of their dreamy play. I always ask the teacher’s permission first, then try to be very discreet without the children being aware.
Hi, Sarah –
I so enjoy your blog and am truly excited for you as you prepare to leave for Kenya!
I will be interested to hear about your adventures when you return.

Thank you, Sherri. I look forward to having much to share when I return!
Hi Sarah,
Wow, what a trip!
I can’t wait to hear of your adventures and reflections on your travels.
I love the idea of a worldwide Waldorf community!
Thanks, Doria. I have a feeling that the urban school I visit in Nairobi will be very different from the Samburu tribal school in the plains. Will come back with a full report!
Hi Sarah, I hope you have a wonderful and memorable trip to Africa with your family. My Chris just got back from safari in Tanzania and the landscape and animal photos are amazing. Can’t wait to see yours posted!! Have fun, Ellen
ELLEN! What a surprise to find you here. Thanks for watching and for commenting!
How wonderful that Chris was able to visit Tanzania. How long was he there for? I’d love to hear more about it. Let’s talk by phone when I get back and catch up!
