Community Development Updates - November 2022 through Feb 2023 

Thanksgiving Celebration

  • We were able to gather both communities together after two years for a large Thanksgiving celebration with the theme of “Empowered to Rise.”
  • There were beautiful performances from the community, including dance performances from the teens, vocal performances from the kids, and a beautiful, dramatic storytelling performance. 
  • It was a joy for us all to be gathered together in one place again! 

Mother’s Day

  • On Mother’s Day, we took time to gather and celebrate the mothers in the communities. We sought to bring them encouragement by emphasizing the irreplaceable and important role that each mother plays in their child’s life. We took time to fellowship and eat and shared handwritten cards from the kids to their moms. 

Curriculum Writing

  • Our Community Development Program team has been hard at work writing and developing curriculum for the communities that will be a great resource for years to come. They are focusing on teaching themes of health, faith, science, and development for kids and teens in an engaging way.

Program Activity Launch, February 2023

  • So far, 2023 has been off to a great start, with our program team leading smart kids classes, teens classes, and parenting classes in both of the communities. 
  • There is tangible excitement in the community to come and learn!
