The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
I always wanted to do a craft show where the people in the community can gather together and make stuff for free where families can make stuff and programs for children ESOL classes, citizen info. We can have the different shops to participate.
Who it helps and why
The reason I said free is because they have different shops in the community to make things. For the home, or fun, or our mental health. I use my arts and crafts to help me cope in a new place and state.
