The session focused on kindness, fairness, and using reason to make positive choices and contribute to the world around us. The children listened carefully and were fully engaged throughout the talk. They asked some thoughtful and impressive questions, showing real curiosity about beliefs, morals, and how people decide what is right and wrong.
