A musical and colorful morning at Tiny Toones !
That day, a few volunteers of Shanty Town Spirit and Ermine visited the Tiny Toones youth center ! Tiny Toones is an association which Shanty Town Spirit is used and pleased to collaborate with ! Their mission is to provide a safe, positive environment for at‐risk youth to channel their energy and creativity into the arts and education, empowering them to build self‐confidence in their daily lives, aim for better employment possibilities, and feel supported pursuing their dreams (Source: https://www.tinytoones.org/about-us-2/ ).
We actually came by to hand in a dozen of boxes full of clothes for kids that had been donated to the association. We thus thank Calzedonia for these gifts to the children !!
First, and as they are used to, the kids played various games in front of us to warm themselves up. Amongst all the colorful graffitis on the walls, they were joyfully chasing one another and playing the musical chairs while dancing.
Then, it was time for a little snack ! All the kids came in line to receive two juices and two bars of chocolate from the volunteers of Shanty Town Spirit !
And last but not least, we went to the dance-class room and the kids held a little dance show in front of us ! It was a wonderful moment: seeing all these children happily dancing and laughing together ! Even the volunteers were invited to dance !
Then, it was already noon, and all the children went back home for lunch ! They let the place for the afternoon group, which is for the older kids !
One Spirit, One Heart, One Community
