This is an awesome organization and
a wonderful program. I wish this organization could do two different groups, from 7 years to 12 years and second group from 13-17 years. Also, they could do it a gain in the winter, twice per week. Family could help a little bit or more money to support this organization, so that our children can be encouraged and to improve their self-esteem and confidence.
This is a bit contribution.
