The children at Reed's Refuge Center absolutely love their Cooking Without A Stove class! 🥰 They especially enjoy the hands-on activities, like peeling and cutting the fresh vegetables for the healthy salads they prepare. 🥕🥒🥬
The class allows the kids to learn valuable cooking skills in a fun, engaging way, without the need for a stove or oven. They take so much pride in assembling the nutritious meals and snacks themselves, using simple, wholesome ingredients.
The Cooking Without A Stove class is a huge hit among the children at Reed's Refuge Center.

😍Eight years ago, Reed's Refuge Center recorded "Believe" to encourage youth to have faith in themselves, no matter their circumstances. The song's message that you have to believe in the impossible in order to achieve it still resonates strongly.
The lyrics inspire young people to maintain a positive mindset and determination, reminding them that self-belief can help overcome adversity. The continued relevance of this anthem offers encouragement that with the right mindset, the impossible is possible. The full song is available on YouTube. “Believe“

At the Reeds Refuge center, our graphic design class for children has been a fantastic opportunity for them to explore their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. The students have been pouring their hearts into designing their own unique sweatshirts and shirts, and one young lady has created a beautiful princess-themed shirt that showcases her exceptional talent. It's been wonderful to witness these children's love for design and their ability to transform their ideas into tangible products. These young learners are not only honing their artistic skills but also developing the mindset of creative entrepreneurs, as they bring their visions to life through their personalized apparel. It's truly inspiring to see the passion and excitement they bring to every project. #reedsrefuge #community #development #center #WeStrongerTogether #nonprofit #donatetoday #graphicdesignclass #ChildrensCreativity #entrepreneurship #uniqueapparel #PrincessShirt #ArtisticTalent ...
