Tuvimos muchos niños entusiastas sobre los teclados y el rincón de arte, algunas hermosas pinturas de hadas espontáneas, personas que se sentían libres de tocar instrumentos, relajarse, jugar... estuvimos bailando Dabke para Palestina, y recaudando fondos para la gente en Gaza, hicimos talleres de remedios y cosmetica naturales , y estuvimos sirviendo comida y creando comunidad...y la bolera fue una maravilla!
