For one month we continuously prepared the 5th Anniversary of Nor Luyce For one month Nor Luyce’s entire staff, mentors, and mentees prepared the Nor Luyce 5th anniversary event. Since the event coincided with International Environmental Day, the theme color was chosen to be green.
Different types of music were chosen for the event, songs were learned and dances were prepared. Lastly, a song depicting Nor Luyce was written which also became the Nor Luyce official song.
