The event will take place at <u>La Familia&#8217;s Maple Neighborhood Center from <span class=\"xn-chron\">4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.<\/span><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Fathers will enjoy a special time with their kids experiencing the rich heritage of this day, including traditional food (&#8220;rocas de reyes&#8221;), games (the &#8220;Valero&#8221;), crafts, and a toy give-away, sponsored by Toys for Tots through the U.S. Marines.<\/p>\n<p>The <u>R3 Academy offers Fatherhood programs<\/u> through a Federal grant, teaching parenting, financial-management, and job-search skills. &#8220;These skills empower Hispanic dads,&#8221; says R3 Academy Director <span class=\"xn-person\">Edixon Martinez<\/span>. &#8220;The role of a Latino father in the U.S. has changed, and learning communication and problem-solving skills helps these dads address the challenges they encounter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One example is many Hispanic fathers living in the U.S. fear their children won&#8217;t experience the Three Kings&#8217; Day festivities of their youth. &#8220;I want my kids to know and love their heritage, like I do,&#8221; says R3 Academy participant Fernando. &#8220;But, I really didn&#8217;t know how to be a Hispanic dad to <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> kids! The R3 Academy has taught me a lot and my kids see a difference in me. And, they&#8217;re more open to learning about our cultural traditions, and that means a lot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The hundreds of fathers taught by Martinez over the past three years have &#8220;learned skills to bond with their kids, listen, resolve conflicts, and discipline without screaming or using &#8216;el cinto&#8217; [the belt]. I love seeing dads like Francisco experience new levels of connection with their kids.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also is excited that R3 Academy graduates are helping with this Three Kings&#8217; Day event. &#8220;These guys are enthusiastic about civic volunteering as an example for their kids. And this will be a special day of fun for everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Event location: <u>3301 37th Ave, <span class=\"xn-location\">Sacramento, CA<\/span> 95824<\/u><\/p>\n<p><i>The R3 Academy teaches fathers skills for strengthening the <span class=\"xn-money\">3 Rs<\/span> in his life: his relationship with his kids, with his partner\/co-parent, and at work.
