Arriving at the Rosy Palestine Kindergarten after lunch, the volunteers implemented two-hours of enriching field day activities including sports, arts, parachute games and face-painting.

Last week, a group of volunteers along with Volunteer Coordinator Ahmad led a field day at Askar refugee camp. Check out more photos from the day on TYO’s Facebook page.
