Selam means “hello” in the Amharic language, one commonly spoken in Ethiopia where Nick grew up.

Nick tells the kids where to sit

He got to share this information, and more, at T.R. Paul Academy of Arts and Knowledge , yesterday afternoon.

The Kids listened and joined in to the story, as Nick read his book, Helping in Action.

Reading the book

Hanging out with the kinders!

They enjoyed all of the artifacts Nick brought from Africa to share, and had a chance to ask Nick some questions about his life and his childhood in Ethiopia.

Touching the African artifacts!

We are always grateful to the kindergarten teachers, Ms. Jenes, and Ms. Amott, for inviting us into their classroom.

Hope to see you again, TPAAK!

The ADA Symposium – A National Experience

Sep 16

Posted by AwesomeinAction

Back in June, Nick and the AiA team were fortunate enough to be welcomed as an

exhibitor at the National ADA Symposium, held at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Denver. How lucky that it was held in Denver this year! Next year, Chicago will host the Symposium.

We saw advanced technologies, feats of engineering, and met educators, business people, designers, counselors, government folks, and most of them had some disability. Yet here they were, changing their own situations and the lives of others.

It took Nick a minute to realize this was not a real dog!
