Apparently, everything "mysteriously" was blocked from the internet yesterday, so i'm going to attempt to recount the activities of today and today.
First and foremost, I LOVE my group! I'm having a blast, and I can't stop laughing! I have THE funniest team leaders, and everyone else adds onto it. We're painting apartments at Lighthouse Path for a family moving in by the end of the week. Today we finished painting all of our first apartment, so we were sent to rearrange the storage room, because the kiddies were still participating in nap time. For the last hr and a half, I believe, we got to play with the kiddies! Omjeeeeez! They're ALL absolutely adorable! I didn't want to leave =[. I took a few pics, and i'll upload them soon (I say that, but I have a feeling it's not going to happen until everything dies down. Tomorrow, we're working at rooms specifically for pregnant teens, and we're renovating over there.
After dinner, we had a few speakers come in to talk about the 211 program at United Way (if you don't know it, you should check it out). Ends up, we're supposed to finish our projects on Thursday, and for Friday, we're all joining together for a bigger project. 211 has been helping individuals who've been impacted by the state of our economy. Their main purpose is to help individuals to finds jobs or help volunteers find projects. Friday, we're all going on a job hunt in downtown Detroit to hopefully add on more contacts/resources for individuals using 211. I'm uber excited. Definitely different from what i've done in past years, and I think it's THE best idea for a project thus far.
My days have been ending earlier and earlier each day. I've been so tired, but i'm surviving! I'm having a blast and hope you all are having a blast as well!
