Today was our first day of service at the site. Already, we are bonding with the other people on our teams and seeing how amazing it is to serve in the community. On my team, Rosie, Charlotte, Julia, Michael and Jeremy along with 5 people from a church in Illinois worked at Kids Club. It was an awesome morning playing with some really sweet kids. We sang songs, played games, made crafts, and helped the kids with other activities. It's so beautiful to see how much we mean to the kids even after just one morning. As Rosie was saying goodbye, the kids were already asking when she would be back and telling her that they would miss her.
After kids club, we spent part of the afternoon sorting canned food at Center of Hope, a really incredible local food pantry that feeds 600 families each year.
Finally, we spent time walking and praying for the community.
