The world is comprised of numerous similarities and differences. It’s easy to judge someone or a group because of a different race, religion, political belief, or sexual preference. We all have the right to be heard, seen, and respected regardless of those differences! We’re all going through the cycle of life and may be dealing with various challenges, triumphs, joy, pain, etc. It’s easier to get through it all together. Regardless of our differences, we all bleed the same color blood and shed the same color tears. Let’s take the moment to appreciate the differences that connect all as members of the human race. Hope you had a Happy Pride! Vote in the Primaries! Celebrate your faith! Honor and respect all races! Special acknowledgments to the clients and participants of Sesame Flyers. Thank you for trusting us to provide services to your child(ren) and family. We appreciate and value your various differences which continue to contribute to the uniqueness of our programs. Have a great summer!
