With an amazing amount of energy, singing, and excitement, the Freedom School opened today. Click here to see photos of the morning
Parents and children were greeted by cheering and clapping Servant Leaders in the parking lot. What a great way to start the day!
Freedom School provides a full morning of activities and fun. Children have breakfast from 8:00-8:30 and then gather together for Harambe (Swahili for working together in unity), a time of singing, sharing, celebrating and story time. Contina Lundy was today’s “guest reader” and shared the story, Click Clack, Moo: Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin.

After Harambe, children spend the morning reading, learning, and having fun in classrooms led by their college-age servant leader. The afternoon is filled with traditional "summer day camp" activities like field trips, swimming, and arts and crafts.
If you are free between 8:30-9:00am, you should definitely stop by and experience Harambe. Our Freedom School is the only CDF Freedom School in Philadelphia and it is an experience you don't want to miss!
If you would like to volunteer for a day, please see Donna Payne or Eileen Jones.
