CLASSROOM

Ricocheted laughter, A shared home in just a room. One connected mind.

HOME

Six in a household, With fond moments together. Nothing breaks the love. - Seraphina Wee

Nostalgia i feel Chatter i will remember A pat and a touch - Lilian

Young Vibrant school girls Recollection of our youth Feeling Energised - Delphine

My goals

Stars beyond my reach Dreams i want to accomplish I’ll be there someday - Arushi

By Arushi

Feelings about the workshops…

Seraphina - very mind enriching and it tested her creativity and her skills. It allowed her to reminisce of the past and at the same time also think about the future. It is something new, learning how to write different kinds of poems and styles of writing, and to learn in an intergenerational space also boosted her interest.
