During our trip to the Mackay Centre, we learned many valuable lessons…
By finding different ways to communicate with the kids, we were able to connect and learn about them. We learned that we are all children of the same world and no one should pass judgement based on appearance. We realized that even if their lives are different than ours, it is easier for them to communicate with us than vice versa. We learned that these kids spend weeks at hospitals on a regular basis, but come back to school with the biggest smiles on their faces. They always look on the bright side of life.
Overall, our time at the Mackay Centre was incredible, and we hope to see the kids’ happy faces again. This meaningful activity is a perfect illustration of the “service spirit” of Round Square.
We would like to thank The Mackay Centre, Kirsten Hardiman and Mrs. Levinson for helping to organize this activity.
