Hey, my name is Himani and I attended New Wave Connections Game Day! It was a really enjoyable experience and the community was very mindful and comforting. I found that the activities were fun to do as a group and the people who ran it were very organized and it was clear it was well planned! It allowed me to clear my mind of school stress and take a break to spend time with my friends! I had a fun experience and I would definitely want another game day and would encourage everyone to attend!

Hi! My name's Vee, and I just wanted to let you guys know you did an amazing job at the event today!! I love how aesthetic your stall was and I really saw the thought that went into every aspect. The pins with affirmations on them is such a small yet impactful reminder to stay positive and be present. You guys are doing amazing, and I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
