Mother’s Day with Heartfelt Crafts, Wisdom, and Community Joy

Written by: Caroline Betancourt

The San Diego Family Federation brought together its monthly church picnic with a special Women's Federation for World Peace (WFWP) Mother’s Day celebration, creating a vibrant and memorable afternoon for families in the community.

The event featured a variety of thoughtful and engaging activities. A dedicated craft table delighted children with crayons, colored pencils, stickers, and special notecards. Younger children expressed their love for their mothers through colorful drawings, while teens penned heartfelt messages on decorative cards. Mothers were invited to share their life lessons by writing "Pearls of Wisdom" on colorful note papers, which were then displayed on a clothesline for all to enjoy.

In the spirit of appreciation, every mother received a thoughtful gift—journals, photo frames, or gardening gloves—distributed with joy by the younger children. The event also featured a door prize raffle and ended on a sweet note with individual carnations given to all women as they departed.

A banner highlighting the event was proudly displayed, featuring a photo of Holy Mother Han. The joyful atmosphere and warm presentation attracted attention from others in the park, with several passersby stopping to express their admiration.

The event organizer noted how inspired and uplifted the participants were, crediting WFWP headquarters for providing the creative ideas that made the gathering such a success. “The activities touched people’s hearts,” they shared. “It was a beautiful day of connection, celebration, and love.”
