Carlos Art Preview
At Right Start, we believe in creating environments where children can truly thrive. Our latest exclusive gathering raised essential revenue through a curated art showcase by Carlos Rocha while engaging our community in a vital conversation. During the event, 20 of our close supporters joined a fireside chat titled “Safe Spaces: How Children Can Thrive in a Digital World”.
Smart Parenting Editor-in-Chief Rona Bonifacio and Ms. Cary Hart of International School Manila provided our guests with thoughtful strategies for enforcing screen time limits and fostering healthy digital habits at home. We are incredibly grateful for an evening of refined connection that directly fuels our mission to empower children.
