Tapori: Overcoming Poverty by Building Friendship among All Children
Skelton, Diana; Orcullo, Marjorie
Childhood Education, v96 n2 p62-67 2020
Around the world, children who grow up in poverty and children who grow up in middle-class homes rarely have opportunities to get to know one another. Tapori is a friendship network that seeks to make connections between disparate groups of children. Its newsletter shares true stories from the point of view of children living in challenging circumstances, such as on the street or in an emergency housing shelter. Tapori brings together people of different cultures and social classes to work in grassroots projects that promote the rights to education, health, work, housing, and civic participation. This article describes the experience of children who participate in Tapori activities with support from classroom teachers, parents, or other adults in their communities.
