Cultivator of the Human Spirit

Dr. Punum Bhatia

Description

For over thirty years, Dr. Punum Bhatia has diligently studied in great detail and tenacity Maria Montessori´s philosophy and methodology. Dr. Montessori was a pioneer and educator who implemented methods through which young children learned social skills, spontaneous discipline, and achieved academic excellence unheard of until that time. Not only did she revolutionize education, but she also worked to further the rights of women, children, and all of humankind. She worked consistently to create a better world, confident in the ability of the child to create a more peaceful, harmonious society. Dr. Bhatia began her travels in the footsteps of Dr. Montessori in 2006 and it took her 13 years to complete the journey. She now invites you to walk beside her as she revisits Maria Montessori´s incredible journey through Italy, Spain, England, the United States, and India.
