Trauma to Triumphs 3/19

“I think trauma really does confront you with the best and the worst. You see the horrendous things that people do to each other, but you also see resiliency, the power of love, the power of caring, the power of commitment, the power of commitment to oneself, the knowledge that there are things that are larger than our individual survival. 

And in some ways, I don’t think you can appreciate the glory of life unless you also know the dark side of life”  Dr. Bessel van der Kolk 

RSVP: Flora Huang

Laptops Benefit Children in Schools. Thank you Sen. Comrie & Team

Laptops Benefit Children in Schools. Thank you Sen. Comrie & Team

Children wrote that having a laptop is important to learn new things and to be organized with schoolwork, homework, and schedules; access research for school papers, projects, personal interests, read more books, write poems & stories, and research on a screen, not on a phone, which strains the eyes.

Having a laptop develops creative skills, work on video editing, art, writing, typing skills, and Coding.
