Each month we provide residents with at least two educational or enrichment activities. These activities are a great way for the
residents to spend time together as a community and to enjoy special events. Some of these events take place outside of the house
like going to the zoo, museum, or aquarium while some take place in the comfort of Casa de Paz.
We started a new after school program for the kids in the house. Every other week volunteers facilitate developmentally appropriate activities with the children. We typically make a snack, a craft, and then have play time outside or in our playroom. During this time, moms are encouraged to rest or practice self care.
We beat the heat by going bowling! For half of our residents this was their first time bowling. The children had a great time and the moms seemed to enjoy the competition, moms vs. children!
We celebrated Mother’s Day with lunch, gift bags, and facials from a volunteer.
John is our summer employee funded by the Urban Health Project. Here he is playing baseball with one of the children.
