The program "Paint Happiness - Draw Smiles" is part of the "Smile More" project series organized by The Gem Media and Entertainment Joint Stock Company to bring useful and healthy entertainment to children.
Coming to the program, children can paint statues in groups, participate in quizzes to receive gifts, try the blind bag opening game and enjoy milk tea prepared by young people in Da Nang.
The joyful laughter of the children at Hope Village created a session with interesting activities and games, dispelling stress and pressure after many weeks of hard study.
To carry out the program, the group prepared statues and colors and personally cooked more than 100 cups of milk tea for the children. The children at Hope Village had an evening full of laughter. Huynh Thi Thuy Tram (11th grade student) was very happy to have her older siblings come to play with her.
“I have lived in Hope Village for 9 years now. Groups often come here to organize fun activities for us, but this is the first time young people have brought new activities like painting statues and let us enjoy delicious milk tea,” Tram shared.
As one of the members who personally prepared games and milk tea for the children, Ms. Nguyen Huong Viet - a member of the "Smile More" project said that the activities that the group brings are expected to improve mental health, aiming at the comprehensive development of children in social protection centers.
"Today when I came to Hope Village, I felt very surprised and happy when the children here responded very enthusiastically. Especially when letting them color statues, many of them showed their painting talent," Ms. Viet shared.
Accordingly, the project will continue to organize activities, meetings and soft skills training at the shelters, and cooperate with 3rd and 4th year clinical psychology students to organize psychological consultations and psychological tests to review and check their mental health.
Along with that, we connect with schools and community organizations to organize workshops on raising awareness about mental health, loving yourself properly and living happily.
