FAMILY NIGHT
Recently, the Chinese Education and Culture Center in St. Louis hosted Family Night, in which Emily Yang, Cindy Liu, and Max Zeng brought stress relief games + toys to give out to youth. They also helped strengthen parent-child relationships through games of “How Well Do You Know Each Other?”, with questions like “does your parent believe in love at first sight?” and “which day if the week does your child find most stressful?” Funding support was received from the STL County Children’s Service Fund.
