Auto-translated to English by AIWe've just finished the JEVAK building village at our community centre. And together with all the people from the neighbourhood, we made sure the children had a wonderful week. We made all sorts of things for the children, and the children could do all kinds of activities, from crafts to a treasure hunt. And it was such a lovely team, we worked together really well and everyone helped each other. And that was the same with the children, they were doing great.
