SUMMARY
Reflection
This experience was so eye opening and fulfilling, it was amazing to watch the families bond and build stronger connections through activities. These families have had complicated past and it was awesome to watch them have a great time as a family. I learned how valuable it can be to connect with family and the community.
Project Impact
To have a family activity that parents will be able to bond and create better communication skills, this will help reduce parental stress.
