February round-up

February Love and Connection Recap! This month was a celebration of love and community spirit. From the Blooming Bunnies club activities to heartfelt discussions on love and friendship, our community embraced the warmth of togetherness. Children's laughter echoed as they played and crafted beautiful creations. We enjoyed a game night and experienced Henna body painting at our creative corner.

The community gatherings created a unique vibe, where stories were shared, and inspiration flowed. A special shoutout to all who joined our events, including the discussion on 'Becoming' by Michelle Obama in our book club.

Thank you for making February a month of joy, connection, and shared experiences!

March is ...

March: A month of beginnings

As we step into March, we embrace the spirit of new beginnings and a collective commitment to positive change.

It's a time for reflection, education, and action as we strive for a more inclusive and equitable society.

Let's unite in making March a month of empowerment, understanding, and progress. Together, we can create positive ripples that resonate throughout our community and beyond.
