Mosaic Play Academy’s Post

Because all of us are #agentsofchange and can make a positive impact to our community. "As parents and caregivers, we play a crucial role in nurturing the next generation of compassionate citizens. The values we demonstrate and the examples we set today have a lasting influence on how our children will view and contribute to their communities. It goes beyond formal #volunteering roles. It’s the everyday acts of kindness and community involvement that make a difference. When children see their parents, grandparents, or siblings lending a helping hand to a neighbour, participating in local clean-ups, or simply being there for a friend in need, they’re absorbing invaluable lessons about empathy, responsibility, and the joy of giving. The beauty of this family legacy isn’t just in the actions themselves, but in the #conversations and reflections that surround them. When we talk to our children about why we choose to help others, we’re not just explaining an activity, we’re sharing our worldview and our hopes for the kind of world we want to live in. These moments of #connection are where growth happens. A child’s eyes lighting up with understanding as they grasp the concept of making a difference. The pride in their voice as they share their own ideas for how to help. These are the building blocks of not just future volunteers, but of compassionate, engaged people who will shape our world for generations to come." ~https://lnkd.in/gHM7hBrE #volunterism #communityservice #leadership #community #compassion #empathy #studentleaders

Responsive care in the first 1000 days in a child’s life lays the foundation for life-long resilience.

St. Bernadette Church in Lancaster is installing ADA-compliant men's, women's, and family restrooms to provide accessible and safe facilities for parishioners and guests during services and events. This improvement means that attendees will no longer need to use the school's restroom. The initiative reflects the church's commitment to creating an inclusive environment for everyone, including individuals with disabilities and families with young children, while prioritizing school safety. By focusing on accessible facilities, the church embodies Christ's call to care for one another, enhancing the worship experience for the entire community. The Catholic Foundation is committed to fostering growth within our parishes and is proud to provide a responsive grant to support St. Bernadette’s restroom facilities project. Rachel Cavello, Principal of St. Bernadette Catholic School, joins Jim Hahn, Development Officer at The Catholic Foundation, and Father Dan Olvera, Pastor of St. Bernadette Church, to accept the grant check. #catholicgiving #realworldimpact #futureofthefaith

I love being a volunteer- It provides physical and mental rewards. You get a chance to give back and also learn. My personal advice to each and every friends of mine to experience the joy of giving… In PSR we focus on "Empowering Girl Child". We can say that we focus on education of girls child.
