Life skills, stress reduction & relaxation techniques implemented through fun recreation

Hundreds of disadvantaged kids in Pittsburgh struggle on a daily basis to survive in the midst of drugs and violence, poor living conditions, broken families and inadequate educational opportunities. These kids aren't fortunate enough to experience the joy of receiving toys, clothing, books and a hot meal. Christmas comes and goes only with a sense of longing possibly turning into a crisis!
