Today, Nonna Rosa walks Zola and Alessandro to school.

Once they are in her classroom, Zola takes Nonna’s hand and shows her the St Odo’s picnic photo display.

Ms Divis introduces herself and they talk.

After they’ve talked some more, Zola can see that Nonna is laughing and nodding. Ms Divis has said something to make her happy.

So guess what Zola and Alessandro do every Monday? They work alongside Nonna Rosa on the organic garden at St Odo’s.

Every Monday someone new joins them, until they have what Ms Divis calls ‘a community’.

Zola makes sure that the first seed she plants is one of Nonno Nino’s special ones. So that every day she can look out her classroom window and watch it grow.

It reminds Zola of Nonno Nino, and always makes her feel happy inside.
