JULY WRAPS UP WITH BAYANIHAN

Earlier this month, a group of parents led by Mommy K and Nanay Day started Village Kids Bayanihan–a venue for families, especially children, to grow and learn. "The power of good neighbors" inspired K to initiate this program, which was quickly embraced by the village. "We are so blessed to have such beautiful surroundings in Avida, and we have so many friendly and kind children here. We just want to help our kids connect in real life," says K. From read-alouds and math trivia to map reading and visits to neighborhood vegetable gardens, these children and families gather every Saturday, 4:00-5:00 PM, at the Avida Clubhouse. The best part is seeing the spirit of bayanihan through the generosity of volunteers. The invitation is open to all, and participation is free.
