โ A beautiful finale to our Cross-Cultural Community Cafรฉ!
In the past few months, our 6-session Cross-Cultural Community Cafรฉ series connected people across cultures while raising dementia awareness in a positive, engaging way, over coffee and tea prepared and served by trained Kin On volunteers. Our final session last Saturday ended with hearts full of gratitude.
People of different backgrounds, generations, and cultures came together to raise awareness of dementia, alongside people living with dementia and their caregivers. Together, we sang and danced to the sound of ukulele music, then shared what we're grateful for by writing on the leaves of our Gratitude Tree. ๐
The tree will be displayed at Kin On Eastside Community Center as a lasting reminder of this special memory and a perfect close to the series.
None of this would have been possible without our senior volunteers. They trained as baristas, learning about coffee from scratch, and became skilled at serving the best coffee to every guest. Over warm cups and a cozy atmosphere, everyone felt welcome to open up and share their stories. ๐
A heartfelt thank you to our volunteers, participants, and caregivers for making all six sessions so meaningful!๐ฅฐ
