Agnes Mudembo is no ordinary woman. A mother of three currently following a Bachelors’ Degree in Nursing on Full Time basis at the University of Malta at 42 years old is already something admirable. As a nursing student myself, I’ve met Agnes online during lectures for the past couple of months and I can say that she is a respectful, caring and dedicated woman who is eagerly studying for a better and more satisfying career. But as an extremely empathic and sensitive woman, through her eyes I could easily feel a lot of internalised pain. So through wham we sat down and attempted to uncoverRead More…

Spring is upon us; the birds are singing, the temperature is rising and so are our hopes for an end to this temporary lockdown. On a brighter note; this year’s makeup trends are all about colour and sparkle, what more could you possibly want? I know we’re all slightly fed up of the current situation… (to say the least) Of course, due to Covid and the new mask wearing lifestyle we’ve had to undertake; the focus will be mainly on the eyes.

I was recently contacted by Rebecca, a 37 year old woman with invisible disabilities who, despite her own life hurdles, is doing an excellent job taking care of her own mother. As a vulnerable carer, Rebecca has been desperately pleading to authorities to be vaccinated against COVID-19, but her pleas have gone unnoticed. This is her story… I’m 37 yrs of age, and most of my life has gone wasted. Half of my life has been taken away from me due to my invisible disabilities. I never got to do what normal adults do: travel, work full time, buy a house or simply go outRead More…

Following the publication of an article I wrote a few days ago named Online Schooling in Malta and its Devastating Effects on Working Mothers, certain women reacted negatively to it, stating that the effects of online schooling is not just being felt by working mothers, but by all mothers as well as fathers. And they were right. As a writer I focused on the devastating effects on women, forgetting the many fathers that are actively involved in their own children’s upbringing on all levels, including their education, and for this I apologise. One particular father reached out to me in reaction to my previous article.Read More…

The emergent curriculum is an organic teaching approach that helps in the development of young children.

Teachers are encouraged to build on the children’s likes and interests so as to promote responsiveness. In such settings, the educator takes on the role of a facilitator, observes what would be happening, and gives the children a chance for more discovery, deeper digging, and further knowledge construction by planning their activitiesRead More…
