Ami is a teacher, consultant, author, poet, essayist and former journalist. Ami directs a non-profit, the Center for Sustainable Change, which teaches parents, educators, youth-service workers, communities and organizations how to engage the innate resilience and through the experience gained, to become wise and loving role models for children.
