Oussama Safraoui Author

Oussama Safraoui is an elementary school teacher, interested in teaching life skills and nurturing strong, positive children. His ultimate objective is to help develop children’s characters in a way that makes them balanced and successful as they grow up to face personal and professional challenges. He wrote a collection of 17 short stories that teach moral values and life skills such as determination, sense of responsibility, respect, friendship and teamwork, and a tale for children about global warming. He is an advocate of teaching chess in elementary schools, as chess is a game that doesn’t require much funding, and it teaches children crucial life skills. As Rafe Esquith once said: “My goal for these kids is to get skills from me that they will be using five to ten years from now.” Oussama Safraoui works on teaching children lifelong skills that will help them be good, happy and creative people who strive to make the world a better place.
