Leadership in the food forest

Today I have been showing leadership by helping the kakano in there classes by doing reading breakouts and spending time with them and learning what they do in the day. I also got to do fun activates with them and get to know them more and learn what they are interested in. Some of the kids I worked with were Chloe and Harmany. some of the activates we did were colouring and drawing on paper with crayons and then they would start dying it.
