100,000 in Dutch Mud
June 23, 2015
I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
-Michael Jordan

When the World Forum's International Mud Day (June 29) is celebrated in the Netherlands, over 100,000 children in over 2,000 child care centers, primary schools, and out-of-school locations "will join in a day of splashing, rolling, sliding, making mud pies, and more!" Leadership Team member of the World Forum's Nature Action Collaborative for Children, Marc Veekamp, organized the first Mud Day in the Netherlands two years ago.  Last year 60,000 children participated in his project.  Marc observes:

"We are overwhelmed by positive reactions and registrations.  Mud Day has developed into a real phenomenon.  Everything is possible: from sliding contests and building the highest mud tower, to brewing mud soup, building and digging with bare hands, and mud bathing.  Children and families discover all about mud during Mud Day.  How to play with it and what mud — soil — means in our daily lives."
