Sample Activities
There is nothing like the specific parts of a program to build understanding of the details behind our successes. Just as magicians can (but usually won’t) explain, in detail, how they perform an act so these are samples of the ways our “magic” works. Over the years we have done so many different programs and activities that it would be hard to list them all. Likewise each client, school, community group, agency and business has their own needs and it is rare for us not to develop totally new programs.
