On October 21, 2PM-3:30PM, AYLUS Great Neck Branch organized an event that offered an opportunity for special needs children to paint rocks and make origami stars. The painted rocks and origami stars would be used in the scavenger hunt in the woods planned for next week. There are 13 AYLUS volunteers and 5 special needs children joined in to create beautiful works of art. The room was full of people and laughters. It was a great experience for all the participants to make connections through art. Volunteers for today’s activities are: Zoe Xia, Siwen Wang, Siyue Wang, Yvonne Liu, Max Zhang13yrs, Feier Xu, Qinrui Zhang, Shiyi Ji, Ting Chen, Ally Shilagani (1.5 hours), Katie Wang, Ryan Cheung, and Katherine Cheung (2 hours)
