On September 29th children from Foundation Time of Peace enjoyed a wonderful retreat, it was a day of having fun and learning a lot. We had qualified personnel and the objective was to train kids in principles and values for being positive agents of change in their communities.
One of the most important and enriching experience was kids shared with children from the other Center because we joined beneficiaries from our 2 branches. Teachers prepared group interesting topics, dynamics, games and theatre plays. The idea is to transform kids by the renewing of their minds, most of them have grown in a violent environments and to be with people from other neighborhoods make them more sensitive to different people.
There was time for learning about some animals like praying mantis and butterflies because these species have curious behavior we can use as examples, we have realized our boys and girls need not only academic knowledge but personnal growth and if we can joined both in a very funny context they could embrace very important academic concepts to their daily lifes.
