On Friday, June 9th, members of the Alliance of Youth Leaders in the United States of Pearland volunteered at the SMILE program at the Light and Salt Association. In the morning, life skills were taught to the students. These include videos explaining autonomy and personal space and games designed to practice memory and focus. After lunch, Erica Gao taught the class how to make snakes out of construction paper strips. Volunteers assisted students in the crafts. Afterwards, students had the choice of a coloring activity, making a card for the upcoming Fathers’ Day, or engaging in a secret code activity.
