HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM SESAME FLYERS INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED

The holidays is such a special time of the year, full of celebrations, cherished traditions, and time to reconnect with the family and friends in the community.  It is amidst all the bustle of this season that we are quietly invited to pause, reflect and remember the world we live in. 
 

 
 


EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE

Season’s Greetings everyone! I wish you all a Happy Holiday Season and a bright and prosperous New Year! We hope 2019 was a year where your visions came true and set the stage for future progress in your years to come. As the year is now coming to a close, the holiday season gives us a time to connect with close family and friends and reflect on the year that will soon be fading away. Let us use this time to be connected to the elements of life that matter to us most and refocus our energies for the year ahead.

With 2020 on the horizon, a year that signifies clarity of vision, I believe now is the perfect time to be empowered by your hopes, dreams, and goals. Now is the time to powerfully go for your goals and achieve them with dedication and focus.
Our focus here at Sesame is true to our motto “Love a Kid Today and Every Day.” I am honored to see the progress of the quality of our programs this year and anticipate an amazing 2020 for Sesame Flyers. We will continue to provide the love and support to our children year round and remain the cultural pillar of the community that we have been for the past 36 years.

May you all have a safe and abundant Holiday Season and New Year!

WINTHROP BEACON COMMUNITY CENTER HOLIDAY SHOWCASE
BY KEISHA SYDNEY SESAME FLYERS INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH SPECIALIST

During this festive period the Winthrop Beacon III Community Center did not fail in delivering an exciting and emotional Christmas Holiday Showcase for the participants, their parents and the community on Saturday December 14, 2019.  The event was well attended and the program contained cultural pieces designed and developed by the participants.

 


CHRISTMAS AT THE CULTURAL CENTER

Sesame Flyers International welcomed local children from the community and our programs as well for a day of holiday fun, cheer and presents! Every year Sesame Flyers has a Christmas party with Santa and Mrs. Claus. The children were thrilled to see Santa and take pictures, get balloon animals, and face painting. The children left with gifts donated to us are from our Winter Wishes Program. This is a letter writing program lead by Sesame Flyers International members Pearl Elie and Michele Holder in which children are given the opportunity to write a letter to Santa requesting a gift. We look forward to keeping this tradition alive for many years to come.

 


BELIEVE IT OR NOT
BY DYLANNA SOLOMON (PARTICIPANT AT WINTHROP BEACON)

Hi, my name is Dylanna and I’m going to tell you about the fun trip my group and I went on. We went to Ripley’s Believe It or Not. We saw so many weird and funny looking things like, a two headed lamb, a cow with an extra leg, people who would make their eyes big, people who pierced their body and more. I asked the kids in my group what was their favorite thing to see and they said, one of their favorite things was that they were able to buy things out of the gift shop. Another person said she liked that we got to put our heads through a hole. They also liked to see the different statues.

My favorite part of this fun trip was that I got to spend the day with my friends. There were two other exhibits that I really enjoyed. The first was when we were able to go into a dark room with music and started dancing. We saw our “images” on a black screen as we were dancing. The other was what seemed like a spinning room. We walked across a bridge, and it felt like we would fall off because the room was spinning. It was really a lot of fun.

After Ripley’s Believe It or Not, we went to McDonalds. Then we went on the train and got to enjoy the rest of our day.
