This photo album documents the activities of Depaul Ireland's EVS volunteers from January to June 2015 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It describes events held for holidays like Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and Easter. It also discusses the everyday activities the volunteers engaged in with families like cooking, gardening, crafts, and a nail and beauty club. Their weekly parents and toddlers group involved reading, play, and learning. Additional activities promoted healthy eating, cultural identity, geography, and respect. A crafts fair, play sessions, college promotions, and volunteer fairs were also highlighted. The album closes by thanking the volunteers and families for the experiences of the past 11 months.
