My best friend in San Francisco, Pamela. She is homeschooling her children
using the Montessori method. She is a great inspiration to me. We both feel
like pioneers discovering what education means in the Baha'i Faith and are
challenged by the standards in physical, intellectual and spiritual education
that it demands. As she says: "You go girl!" This is her amazing family.
