This is more than just an arts and crafts program; it's a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the shared stories of our elders. By participating in these weekly sessions, seniors will have the opportunity to: Rediscover and refine their artistic skills. Engage in meaningful social interactions, fostering a sense of community. Boost their self-assurance and well-being through creative expression. We believe that every piece of art created during these sessions will be a testament to the strength, stories, and spirit of our senior participants.
