Sorrow over Jane Goodall’s passing

Saddened by the news that Jane Goodall has passed. She was a source of inspiration for people to take action around the world, particularly youth. For me personally, she inspired a small group of high school young women doing Current Generation, that their actions can have a tangible impact on another human. This helped direct the student paths to careers that make an impact using STEM. Jane shifted the misconception often held by our students that a single person cannot do much on their own. Before our brief work with Jane, our students believed that NB students could not do anything globally worthy. But that changed at a Fundraiser for Take Action Global in the Palace in Brussels. At the gala, there was a video of school kids that included Jane’s own grandson, and RHS had the lion’s share playing time. Imagine the pride and the change in trajectory in our students when Jane received our lights (at minute 1:30) made by Current Generation students as a birthday present just a couple years ago.
