Build self-esteem through helpful actions.
Le Buntu VillageRead, discuss, pass onInspire children to help, comfort, share and perform small actions that are useful to others.





From Angola to Eritrea, five children discover different ways to brighten the world: performing a good deed, recognising the wealth of human bonds, giving without calculation, progressing patiently and offering time or attention. None of them needs an extraordinary power to act.
The pack offers an accessible vision of heroism built on consistency and attention to others. Through the characters, children see that their value does not depend on the size of a gesture, but on their ability to notice, help and begin again until kindness becomes a habit.
The child's goal, translated into concrete progress.
Build self-esteem through helpful actions.
Turn kindness into practical gestures.
Understand that every action can affect the world around us.
The suggested order turns the pack into a mini-journey: start from a simple situation, then open the conversation towards the central value.

Angola – Tchitundo-Hulo Mountains
Beneath ancient paintings, Ana chooses to brighten the present.
In a remote region of Angola, the mountains of Tchitundo-Hulo connect past and present. Rock paintings on their walls preserve the memory of people who lived there long ago. This mysterious setting is where Ana’s adventure begins. Captivated by the stories written in stone, she understands that everyone can leave a trace in turn. Instead of waiting for one grand gesture, she chooses to perform small acts of kindness. Her generosity shows that even a little light can brighten the world around her.
