Year 8C Service Learning Project at Casa Luz Shelter
Last Tuesday, November 5th, Year 8C students visited the Casa Luz Shelter to carry out their Service Learning project. This space offers lodging to a group of teenage mothers and their children, who come from situations of abuse, extreme poverty and exploitation. Therefore, the main objective of the visit was to share a recreational space where the young women could participate in different creative workshops led by the 8C students while also offering a play and storytelling environment for the boys and girls. Thanks to the organization of the students and their families, not only were donations of materials and basic necessities collected for the shelter, but they were also able to share a delicious snack. We thank all the 8C students and their families for their invaluable support and commitment in providing a morning of entertainment and fun for this group of teenage mothers and their children.
