In the company of cinderellas, cowboys and clowns

Two weeks ago was the time for carnival here in Malta. Of course we at Centru Tbexibix wanted to take part in the celebration so we hosted our own carnival party for the children. The turn out proved to be even better than expected with about 35 children showing up in various creative costumes and for an hour and half they enjoyed themselves with dancing, playing games etc.

It is not only the children that get to learn new things at the centre. Sometimes the volunteers also have the opportunity to try something new, like last Wednesday when David held a workshop on how to take care of and replant the plants of the centre.The initial skepticism of some of the participants quickly vanished and everyone soon got their fingers dirty and enjoyed themselves taking care of the "baby plants".

Thank you David for an interesting and useful workshop!

Music for body and soul

Tuesday afternoon  the centre vibrated with music and the tunes of The Lion Sleeps Tonight filled the air. Both children and volunteers joined in as our friend Deborah, an American singer, came and held one of her popular workshops with the children.
