Students in the Latino Student Forum provided dinner to families, sang Christmas carols, and did arts and crafts with children. Additionally, children received new toys, which had been collected by students in the Latino Student Forum.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Perea \u201919, president of Latino Student Forum, said Las Posadas is one of the biggest multicultural events hosted at the 西瓜影视;Verne.
