U&I opened its doors to children from neighboring low-income areas around our office for a fun-filled Summer Camp. The theme of this year’s camp was “teamwork.” Twenty-three kids were picked up from their homes every morning and brought to the U&I Learning Centre to learn crafts like origami and card making, to play games and enjoy music and art.
They got to take back their handiwork to their homes and share the joy of learning with their parents. Our volunteer tutors enjoyed getting to know the kids and encourage them through our continued emphasis on affirmation.
For many of these children, summer usually means they stay home unattended as both their parents leave for work. But this time, they got to learn and enjoy themselves in a safe, fun environment. Their gratitude was evident - when it came time to make cards for their parents, many of them quietly made cards for the volunteers too, just to say "Thank you!"
