English term or phrase: cultivate their young minds
What is the metaphorical equivlence of "cultivate one's mind" in Arabic, here is the context of the sentence " Their open minds…innocent eyes… and trusting hands are rich soils in which to plant our futures. So, thank you for all that you are doing to cultivate their young minds and ensure that thoughtfulness, gentleness, and humanity are perennial values in our global family"

I want an Arabic metaphor.
