Children enjoyed free crafting in between the breaks led by enthusiastic GPA volunteers. Participants made colorful cartoon rings, using vibrant pipe cleaners and their imaginations. The event, part of the Crafting Connections initiative by GPA, aimed not only to celebrate creativity but also to give back to the community. Through Crafting Connections, GPA is excited to walk into the local community, spreading creativity and compassion.
