Dear reader,
Finally my favourite month is here. I can’t wait
to finish my hot cup of tea and put up the
Christmas decorations. Have you done yours
yet?
It seems to me that more and more people
come to the realisation that Christmas is not
about the best and most expensive gift, but it
is about being with the people we care for
as well as sharing love and kindness. So if you
want to see a different approach to the
countdown to Christmas, why don’t you take
a look at a special Kindness Advent Calendar?

Kindness Advent Calendar
We inspire
This issue comes with a new name and two
new features. The main purpose of “Inspirational English” is to spread Kind-heartedness
and Compassion around the world so I am
sure you will get inspired by the interview with
Andy Focallocal, who is the driving force behind the Focallocal Positive Social Action
Community.
Last but not least, I have prepared a lesson
plan based around one of the projects organised by Focallocal. I would love to hear
from you and see what your students think
about the project.
From Russie with love
