“Our experience at the Toronto Catholic District School Board with Christoff Kyere and ‘flightunit’ has been overwhelmingly positive and inspiring. They are extremely organized and leave no stone unturned. Every step along the process of the various events we have collaborated on with them has been fun without sacrificing the respect for time and effort. It will be the TCDSB’s pleasure to continue our relationship with ‘flightunit’ for years to come.”
Feather #5: Enlightenment
The human brain is one of the most spectacular things within the universe. When this 3 pound object is on, it has the ‘power to move mountains’ and change the world. When we open our minds to learn our ability to grow as people is limitless.
