Feliz Navidad
On the 19th of December the youths learnt about the importance of taking responsibility for one’s role in the team. We had an activity called Magical Straw in which the youths had to lower a straw to the ground. It sounds easy but was rather difficult.
We also celebrated Christmas with our beloved volunteers. Our youths gave a speech about what they appreciated about their teachers, and we gave them gifts.
We wish all our youths and volunteers Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
