The idea for Mtoto-Mti was born from the many beautiful animals, plants and trees that surrounded me during childhood.

It has been investigated that exposure, in a positive way, to experiences in nature before hitting puberty, creates a lifelong bond with nature!

I was lucky to be in this postion. You might say that nature itself opened my eyes! Like a little seed that was planted in me.

Everywhere I go, I increasingly value (wild) nature and see the importance of learning our children to get in touch with it as much as possible. Yet, I often see the opposite happening.

In many places where I go, I see natural beauty and flourishing life, or at least the potential to it. In every season and in every place. Unfortunately, the youngest generation of our planet does not always have access to these natural wonders of life! Many times, children even have lots of other things to worry about or temptations that distract them.

Changing the ‘unnatural’ situation children are experiencing today, is not an easy thing to do. But we cannot give up! The importance of living a natural lifestyle cannot be overrated. Every small step taken is a win and means a huge change in the life of those involved! Let’s encourage every initiative! This is my sincere conviction.

By means of Mtoto-Mti, I want to be part of the global movement to reverse the situation. And I warmly invite you to do this together and help making a difference!

Warm-hearted greetings,

Johanna
