Apr 13: R2W's intergenarational event with Samoan Community

April 13, 2007, R2W Staff, Michael James, Lauren Quock and Crystal Talitonu headed out to Calvary United Methodist Church in San Jose to present the R2W Summer Program to Samoan youth and their families from Daly City and San Jose. The evening started off with culture circle introductions by all who were present along with a sentence answer to the following question “What do you think is the biggest struggle facing youth in your community”. It was an intense moment of sharing that was made real through the next phase where we were able to act out “the dramas of our lives” through Popular Theatre. Following a wonderful dinner that was catered by L&L Hawaiian BBQ people got to watch a slideshow from past program attendees as well as statistical facts about the Samoan community. Overall the evening was a blessed event that captured the beauty of the R2W program and the people in the community across generations who maintain hope for the next generation of leaders.
