🎉 Well done to our TLASA member, Afrika Tikkun Foundation (Wings of Life), for celebrating World Play Day with 280 children, supported by 1 Toy Librarian, 24 teachers, and 6 Inclusion Class Moms! 🌍
Guided by the theme "Peace, Inclusion and Freedom," children took the lead in a variety of child-led activities, expressing themselves through play, creativity, and meaningful participation. Their smiles, laughter, and enthusiasm showed the power of play in creating inclusive spaces where every child can thrive.
Together, let's continue making play a part of every child's day! 💙

If you missed giving children the joy of play during World Play Day, 11 June is the International Day of Play! 🎉

This year's theme, "Protect Play, Protect Childhood," reminds us that every child deserves time, space, and opportunities to play. Let's use this day to celebrate the power of play—and let's not stop there. Together, let's make play an everyday habit that nurtures learning, well-being, creativity, and happy childhoods.
