What happens when children from two different countries—separated by miles, but connected by curiosity— come together to create something meaningful? Stories Beyond Borders is our answer to that question. This book is a celebration of a unique collaboration between The Hive, Dubai and Teach for India, Chennai. It was a 10-week virtual story-writing mentorship program that connected children across borders, cultures, and life experiences. We hope that as you read these stories, you’ll laugh, reflect, and feel a spark of something bigger than the words on these pages, a belief that every child, no matter where they come from, deserves to be heard, celebrated, and published.
