Why we‘re doing it

The volunteers of this event come from different walks of life and realize the dynamics in their upbringing that can be utilized in today's society. Our youth lack empathy, patients, camaraderie and reassurance. This is a moment that redefines a positive outlook on their immediate future. On a grand scale we are showing them they are safe, heard and validated in just being children.
