The
Nobody Doll
School kids are learning a lot
about themselves from a
denim
doll with an identity crisis. The “Who is NOBODY” program
is a pilot project now underway in a total of six classes in three
different
Whitby schools thanks to a donation from local Rotary
Clubs.
It begins with a mysterious box delivered by the
school principal. Marked, "To everybody from Nobody," the box
contains Nobody, a faceless denim doll.
When Nobody arrived at the schools in the fall it was a
plain blue denim doll without any character.
For the rest of the school year, students must help
Nobody, become somebody by using their interests and abilities to
help others. Each week a student had a turn to take the doll
home for a week. When the doll was at home, they had an opportunity
to add something to it that represented the project that they had
worked on that demonstrated their way to be kind to living
things.
By June Nobody had become a
Somebody.
