YEARS AGO, I CREATED A RELAXED, MULTI-PURPOSE AFTER SCHOOL CLUB. THERE, OLDER TEENS TO ADULTS INTERACTED DAILY WITH CHILDREN OF MANY DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS. TO CREATE HONEST, LONG LASTING RELATIONSHIPS, IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THESE INTERACTIONS TO BE ENGAGING AND ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYONE. WITH THE HELP OF SO MANY, I CONTINUE TO CURATE A SPACE WHICH WELCOMES THIS GOAL.

A FEW YEARS AGO, MY THEN SEVEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER SUGGESTED THAT WE CREATE A GAME (NOT HUEGO) WHICH CAPTURED THE JOY OF OUR CLUB EXPERIENCES THROUGH PLAY. A SUCCESSFUL PROTOTYPE WAS MADE AND SHORTLY AFTER, YOTAYPLAY WAS ESTABLISHED.

YOTAYPLAY – WE ALL PLAY.

JAMAAL LAING
