SMILE 4 Special Needs (#252): SMILE Pearland #3 - Healthy Living In the Holiday Season on November 23, 2025

On November 23, 2025, we hosted the SMILE Pearland session with the theme “Healthy Living in the Holiday Season.” The event began with a warm-up circle where volunteers and participants introduced themselves and shared their favorite holiday foods. Volunteers then led an interactive activity about the importance of eating a variety of colorful foods and introduced the “eat the rainbow” concept. After demonstrating how to prepare a healthy salad and sandwich, all participants selected their ingredients and made their own salad and sandwich. To wrap up the session, everyone reflected on the colors of the foods they chose and discussed how those choices contribute to a healthy diet.

Volunteers:

Jiarui Cui (7 hrs), Eddie Fu (5 hrs), Katherine Wu (5 hrs), Christy Zheng (4 hrs), Zoey Dou (3 hrs), Erica Gao (3 hrs), Mark Junxi Zhang (3 hrs)
