Event Details

Grades 5-12.  Tweens and teens will have the opportunity to make a unique paper bead bracelet, while helping children in Africa through Reason 2 Smile.  "R2S is a registered non-profit in New York that helps to support the Jambo Jipya School, trade school options and the Jambo Jipya Children’s Home in Mtwapa, Kenya."  All registered participants are asked to pick up a craft kit, in the Family Center, containing the materials that will be needed to complete this program.  Each registered participant will earn two hours of community service credit for watching the video below and for emailing a photo of the complete bracelet to the Family Center at familycenter@poblib.org.  Completed bracelets can then be worn by the participant or shared with a friend or family member.  If you participated in this program last year, you are welcome to participate again if you like.
