In order to let mothers have more “ME time” during weekend, we have arranged a relaxation and self-caring program for them. During the morning, mothers attended a sharing session learning the skills to enhance their awareness of their emotions. They also learnt meditation methods to relief stress. Their children were arranged in another room learning how to make solar boat. They tried different ways to make their solar boat float smoothly on the water, and they also decorated boat with their creativity. After lunch, kids helped to clean the beach whereas mothers were participated in the canoeing activity. At first, the mothers felt very nervous and unconfident, but with the clear guidance from instructors, they succeeded to row the canoe finally. They expressed their sense of success and enjoyment after the activity, which have further enhanced their self-esteem and values.
