The power of summer

“The power of summer”
Sun.Star Davao, March 23, 2013

Summer has the power to help us relax, enjoy and reflect. It also has the power to empower us when we learn life skills and passions such as cooking, sports, music, arts, dance and more.

Let us embrace the myriad of experiences that summer has to offer! Explore places, write a journal, discover a new hobby, reconnect with old friends and make new ones. Keep yourself busy because as a famous quote goes, “An idle mind is the devil’s playground”.

I proudly present to you my personal compilation of Davao City’s Kiddie Summer Workshops (Year 6)!
