Weekend activities foster development and community for children
SCDI organizes weekend activities for children of “Breaking the Cycle” project led by dedicated volunteer tutors every Sunday morning. These activities include group study sessions, book reading, drawing, indoor physical games, and interactive life skills workshops tailored to specific themes. Through participation, children have shown positive development in comprehension, reading, and self-study skills, fostering a love for learning.
