"Every Saturday before Easter there is a celebration day at the center. Different choirs perform Easter songs and the older children at the center perform a drama about Jesus’ death and resurrection. On Easter Sunday my family prepares a nice meal."

“At Easter, we eat sweet beans, we bathe in the pool, and it is very special because I can play and have fun and spend time with my family.”
