CUENTOS Y CANCIONES: STORYTELLING AND SONGS, SPANISH BOOK FAIR AT ONE WORLD PROJECT

 

From One World Project

Please join One World Project this Friday, March 7, from 5-6:30pm at 302 Vanderbilt Street for a new edition of Cuentos y Canciones! RSVP here. 

At OWP, we use stories and songs very intentionally, and thought that sharing some of our favorites with the community would be important.

This time the event will center around themes of friendship and community: how can we foster connections -- both new and old -- throughout our communities? We'll select some treasured songs and stories that encourage us to be curious about the world around us, to learn more about one another, and to be kind and build bridges through both our similarities and differences. 

We also want to invite all those in our community to come and share. Should you be interested in reading a favorite story or singing a song about friendship in English or Spanish, please reach out to Silvia at silvia@oneworldproject.org.

There is a suggested donation of $25 per family, but we hope that you'll give only what you can -- more if you are able, and less if you are not. We can't wait to share this evening with you!
