Craggy limestone peaks swathed in dark green foliage preside over pumpkin soil, and in between the rows of palm fronds we find the bright rainbow hues of the outfits of 500 children of Klong Ji Lad School in Krabi, Thailand in February of 2014, as the ABC Charity traversed the hemispheres on its push to complete its human alphabet. The Swedish Embassy in Bangkok and the Krabi Tourism Authority were instrumental in arranging the event, along with Mayor Keeratisak Phukaoluan of the Municipality of Krabi who offered his personal assistance in locating the field and organizing the participation of the children. With live music, food and inspirational speeches, the day helped to teach the children taking part the value of generosity and putting others before yourself – a beautiful message that resonates no matter what part of the world you find yourself in.
Gia stood in the garden, her hands deep in the good, gentle soil.
“G is for Grow,” she whispered, planting one tiny golden seed.
The sun gave its glow, the earth gave its ground, and Gia gave her gratitude.
She giggled as the wind tickled the leaves. She was growing too — not just taller, but greater inside.
Each day she returned, offering gentleness, grace, and genuine care.
The seed grew slowly, just like dreams do — with guidance, not grabbing, with giving, not grasping.
One morning, a green sprout peeked up. Gia clapped with glee.
“You did it,” she said.
The plant didn’t speak, but the growth said everything.
Gia realized that to grow is to go through the messy, the unknown, the quiet — and still rise.
Because G is for Grow, and every step forward is a garden blooming in your soul.
And you?
What will you Grow today?
