Besides sponsoring regular meeting and classes, Family of Joy has another important mission. It reminds parents that every child is unique and needs love and attention. Each one is precious in God’s eyes. They should be the “Apple of your eye!” So, “Don’t Hide Your Kids” is a motto to remember.  In order to get families involved in activities, a variety of events are held each year.  Parents and children are invited to participate together and interact with other families. One such event is hike at the zoo. Volunteers are welcome to walk along with the families offering help and support. Another annual event is a musical program. Parents and children join together onstage for a dancing performance. These activities help audiences better understand children with special-needs and inspires them to volunteer their time and energy to support these special families.
