🌟 What a joy for parents in Families First’s

🌟 What a joy for parents in Families First’s Chispa program to share the story and tradition of Día de los Reyes (3 Kings Day) with their children.
The excitement was palpable as the kids received different toys and mothers cut the Rosca de Reyes (sweet round bread). 🍰 Each family was thrilled to celebrate this tradition and to come together as one.
