Cuando alguien necesite ayuda la debe pedir puesto que el equipo es más que algo que nos sirve para ganar, pasarlo bien…Debe ser algo que nos sirva para formarnos como personas, ser mejores individuos y saber que podemos confiar unos en otros (Película El Milagro).

This Child-Friendly Schools (CFS) Manual was developed during three-and-a-half years of continuous work, involving the United Nations Children's Fund education staff and specialists from partner agencies working on quality education.

It is of primary importance to pay the greatest attention to country specificities, not only in terms of development level, size, and specialization, but also in terms of administrative and cultural traditions.
