I had a great time volunteering at the Fayetteville Public Library for the Community Ofrenda. I helped to set up the location by putting tables, chairs, tissue paper of different colors, scissors, and craft pipe cleaners at each table. I was able to create paper flowers and demonstrate to others how to create them and the meaning behind an Ofrenda and Dia de Los Muertos in the Hispanic Culture. It was truly a great experience!

I had a great time making self-care kits. Everything was well organized and everyone was so friendly to talk to. It was a very welcoming environment that had music playing in the background. I will definitely do this event next year for the Make a Difference Day 2027!

I had a great time at today's Dream BIG BGS. We got to explore new hobbies with our mentees and talk about the hobbies that we usually do. My mentee wanted to play sudoku, create a flower bouquet, and decorated her mug. We got to talk about what we usually do during the summer and the activities we most enjoy.

Today we had our last Dream B.I.G. Mentor Training session. It went really well. I got to collaborate with the other mentors about our experience as a mentor was. We also got to make cards for our mentees that they would have in when they received their yearbooks. We were also told about what the last two sessions for the Brave Girl sessions would look like and the fun activities that they have planned for us.
