OSA Activity Report January 2026
Opening the year 2026, OSA officers and 5 volunteers successfully organized the first (TAS) Therapeutic Arts & Science Workshop for children and their parents. The workshop was designed to support children’s holistic growth by integrating therapeutic arts and science-based activities that encourage creativity, emotional expression, and positive engagement.
A total of eleven children, actively supported by their parents, participated in the program. Through guided activities and collaborative learning experiences, the workshop aimed to enhance children’s productivity by fostering positivity, confidence, and constructive thinking as foundational strategies for healthy growth and development.
The involvement of parents and volunteers further reinforced these objectives, strengthening the learning environment and promoting sustained positive outcomes beyond the workshop setting.
