Birth to Three Ambassador, Stellar Mengele, Leads Successful Training Program
On May 20, 2023, GIFT CONNECT Ambassador, Stellar, conducted a training session with over 1,000 parents and over 1,000 children under the age of five. Everyone left the training feeling empowered by the Birth to Three Movement.

“We’ve learned and grown in parenting from the training; I learned to play with my child, who can now count 1-3, and ABC because I am talking and reading with her. I’ve trained other women and look forward to bringing them for the next training.”
– Event Attendee
