Woot Woot! We are celebrating a few wins this week with our amazing MyKind community members.

⭐️ One of our young community members has learned to ride a bike WITHOUT training wheels. Incredible. Well done to our young friend!

⭐️ One of our visitors shared her creativity with us by making a very fashionable character on our white board. Check out the sun, moon, Mars, Venus, and other planetary bodies represented. Very cool!

⭐️ A few young people in our community have recently shifted schools, completed orientations, and participated in capacity building school readiness programs.

🎉 Shout out to the families and local therapeutic providers who make these achievements possible.
