Zink Comes To Swift Water

Zink Program Rental Kit

Acceptance…Compassion…Understanding…Respect

Zink the Zebra has spots! She also has an exciting program that teaches understanding, respect, compassion and acceptance of ourselves and others. The Zink program features awesome activities, loads of games, great discussion topics and requires little training to get going! We hope that by using the Zink program throughout the time you meet with your group, your girls will become more accepting and bonded and better able to avoid bullying and teasing.

The Story

Zink the Zebra lives in the Lipis Jungle with her parents and her brother, Fink. Zink has spots instead of stripes, causing her to be treated differently by other zebras. But, in her heart, Zink is just another zebra, with all the hopes and hurts, wants and needs, dreams and fears of any other zebra - or child.

The Author:

Kelly Weil (1982 - 1993) created the story of Zink thhttp://www.swgirlscouts.org/graphics/zinkpatch.jpge Zebra, while battling cancer, to express the pain associated with the withdrawal of friendships due to misconceptions about human differences. The story teaches us how being different makes you special.
