A classroom setting with children sitting at desks and an adult woman standing and interacting with them. The classroom has posters and decorations on the walls, including an alphabet and numbers chart, and a chalkboard with instructions. The woman is holding some items in her hands and seems to be engaging with the children, who are looking at her attentively.

Participating in this program has enriched my life, fostering friendships and enhancing my physical well-being.
