What a better time to share an update at RISE, following our celebration of Dia de Los Muertos! We honored and remembered our loved ones with a fiesta, face painting, and a beautiful altar for Madre Mari, one of our founders who passed in August of 2020. |
We even had a little Halloween fun at this Month's Birthday Party, too! Kids got to dress up and pick their own costumes and face paint design! Everyone had a blast! |
Much thanks to our face painters - Karine, Athena, Liah, Sofia and Ivan!
Education: |
Summer Fun was had by all. In our last newsletter, we shared photos of the kids in 2 different summer camps; These were fantastic experiences for the kids and we are grateful to the PV Cultural Center and Instituto de La Mujer P.V for the complimentary weeks at camp for the kids! Muchas Gracias!
