When individuals going through similar experiences get together and converse, new relationships can be developed and a community can be forged.
Many of the parents and caregivers SAAAC serves are extremely busy catering to the needs of their children that they often forget to take some time out for themselves. Over some warm cups of coffee, parents and caregivers are invited to express themselves through informal sessions conducted by our own volunteers. This has been a great opportunity to reach out and empower the individuals who act as the foundation of each child’s growth. COFFEE with SAAAC is also a channel for volunteers to take a leadership role and create a programming plan to enable parents and caregivers to actively engage and participate in discussions and activities.
Through laughter, personal stories of triumphs and disappointments, and entertaining group activities, COFFEE with SAAAC is an outlet for parents and caregivers to connect and find comfort in the experiences one another.
