Activities in the first part of 2022 at the Childrens House, school support and the creative mothers course....

We have been running different workshops for the women over the last months, with an ok participation, despite of much rain and mud at the roads around, complicating to get to our place, and also no good for small cars to pass. But now in June, the rain is more stopping, and the sun is helping, so it is getting more dry again We have had special events around womens day, mothers day and also some days with focus on health, with teaching. Also few days with gracious second hand clothes market, and in May we had the orange month, focusing on the difficult issues af sexual abuse with children and teenagers as victims.
The children have been participating in shcool support in dinamic ways too. Some photos here too from the Elected Generation !
