Massimo Zambella

Born in August of 2004, this little boy strikes the lives of ZAC visitors and staff sometimes like thunder, but often with unparalleled investigation. His questions are a great stepping stone for us all to learn from; embracing the child-like spirit he embodies, and the innocence his presence creates. 

It is rare to meet a child with his extensive vocabulary. And even harder to meet a youngster with such developed self-worth and confidence. At the roots of his soul are wild hairs of exploration and towering bells ringing for freedom.

His work with ZAC defines itself further each day. As his list of wants grows, you can hear his father coax him into washing gear to earn money for his RC Rock Crawler, and his cunning logic reverse the process into dad being the giving tree. It is a truly fun experience participating in the parenting of such a young man.

Massimo is not shy, but he is not easy either. He does not hesitate to make you earn his respect. A thoughtful observer can see his sensitivity to this is right on target. As a family we strive to keep these innate senses intact so he and others can yield the benefits of his wholeness through this life.

Whether bouldering with his Papi in the loft, or asking staff to assist with spelling while searching the Lego website, Massimo always knows what he needs, and as he shapes this purity, we anticipate he can help you with your needs too.
