KIM TAUGHT SUMMER WORKSHOP FOR OASIS FOR GIRLS

This summer’s workshop Kim lead for Oasis for Girls started in the grand Lobby of Salesforce seeing the beautiful tiles by Julie Chang. We then moved to the park upstairs touring thought the plants form around the world with hummingbirds and dragon flies. We warmed up, danced, played instruments, talked about humans and our energy systems. This took us to the visual arts and all participants drew beautiful poster size images of plants!
