This August<\/strong>, the SDS team, together with other dedicated volunteers, created and animated prayer spaces for Skolasajf students in the beautiful Lunzjata Valley in Ker\u010bem, Gozo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A heartfelt thank you to the Foundation for Educational Services<\/a> for the ongoing collaboration over the past years and for once again inviting us to participate this summer. The National Literacy Agency is also supporting these Prayer Spaces sessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme of this year is \u201cReach for the Stars<\/em>\u201c<\/strong>. It aims to encourage children to dream big, try new things, and believe in their own abilities. Children have the opportunity to play, collaborate, and explore their abilities so they can shine brightly and reach their personal goals. <\/p>\n\n\n
