Special Note: This is a free micro-volunteering activity. It will require you to spend between 1,5 and 2 hours to learn and create one toy. We will provide you with guidance and all materials.
Due to limited spaces, we can only offer maximum of 8 spots. If you are unable to attend after you have RVSP'd, please change your status of RVSP to ‘NO’ at least 48 hours before the event date to let other volunteers to join.
