These kids are serenaded by nature everyday. They derive simple pleasures from simple things.
They climb trees, hunt for crabs and fish, play hide-and-seek in the coffee plantation, swim in the river, run around the dry yard throwing coffee beans up in the air…
They wet their feet in a puddle, dirty their hands in sludge, do the rain dance…
We the urban children of digital age, have become aliens to the natural world. Technology has introduced us to a new 'virtual' world. There is little time for bonding with nature. It is detrimental not only for physical fitness, but also for our mental and spiritual health.
