TEXTO
We are guilty of many errors and many faults but our worst crime is abandoning the children,
neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot. Right now
is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, and his senses are being
developed. To him we cannot answer Tomorrow. His name is Today.
(Gabriela Mistral)
