If you have a moment today, we encourage you to take a break, share a joke, and enjoy a good laugh – because it’s World Laughter Day! 😀

We didn’t know such a day existed until Annie Harvey The STILL Effect, who earlier in April facilitated a laughter session at Kapara, told us about it.

You may have seen updates about the intergenerational program with St. Peter’s Woodlands Grammar School that Kapara residents are involved in, which also includes the ‘giggle games’ designed by Annie. She is a TEDx and keynote speaker with expertise in neuroscience, brain health, education, and coaching.

Here's a picture of Yvonne from Kapara participating in the laughter session. Have a great day, everyone! 👐
