Founder
Greta Mion, a resident of Padua, holds a degree in Primary Education and is a primary school teacher, specializing in inclusive techniques for learning disabilities (LD) and in child protection, rights, and advocacy.
She has been active in volunteer work for years in foster care and adoption, and in 2025 she completed the Universal Civil Service project “White Helmets to Support the Inclusion of Orphans in Tanzania.”
Through her Instagram account @maestragre, she has authentically shared her daily experiences in Italian schools and her experience in Tanzania, building a community focused on the educational and human value of looking at childhood.
Karibu – Civil Service
Karibu means “welcome”.
And that is exactly how it all began.
This book is the heartfelt story of a year that changed Greta’s life: her civil service experience in Tanzania, among fragility and wonder, deep questions and encounters powerful enough to transform the heart. It is a story made of faces, intertwined hands, wounded childhoods, and hope that refuses to fade.
By purchasing the book on Amazon, you are not only reading a story: you are directly supporting Nuru Home and the future of the children who are part of it.
