14. MES FUND, Inc. Recipient Testimonials “ I am planning to have children soon, and my Montessori training will directly affect the way they are raised and how they are schooled. My training experience fulfilled all of my expectations and more. I learned an enormous amount about Montessori, but also learned many things about myself. My long term plans are to eventually open a school of my own. I want this school to be a public school in honor of Maria Montessori’s original vision.” - Khalila Nobles “ I could not be more pleased with my decision to pursue AMI elementary training: a program of prestige and excellence... AMI certification allows me to be a leader, be a follower, take job opportunities abroad and nationally, as well as work with children and give back. The MES FUND helped me to focus less on financial strain and more on the academics. Some trainees receive school support or family support, but I am lucky and grateful for the support of the larger Montessori community.” -Rebecca Lemar
