SMILE 4 Special Needs (#264): Pearland My PlayClub #35 on March 15, 2026

On March 15, volunteers gathered at Ed Thompson Inclusive Park to host the 35th session of My PlayClub, creating a joyful and inclusive afternoon for children in the local special needs community.

The event featured a wide variety of engaging activities designed to encourage creativity, social interaction, and fun. Children enthusiastically participated in colorful face painting, hands-on arts and crafts, and a series of lively mini-games organized by volunteers.

One of the highlights of this session was the introduction of several new games, which quickly became favorites among the children. Laughter and excitement filled the park as participants eagerly explored each activity station, supported by volunteers who ensured every child felt welcomed and included.

My Playclub brings families, volunteers, and children together in a supportive environment where everyone could share moments of happiness and connection. Through creativity, play, and community spirit, the event once again demonstrated the power of inclusive spaces and volunteer service in enriching the lives of children with special needs.
