April+2+First+Work+Day

Hello! Today was our first day of work. Our whole team worked at two locations today. I worked with a man named Jim in Athens. His home was damaged by the flood and we stepped in to do what we could. Our task assigned was to sand and spackle his home. We spent a majority of the time doing that. We had one challenge that stood in front of us. We had to step over the cats! His cats were still residing at his residence. We gave them cute nicknames and I even succeeded in getting my moderator to apologize to the cat he accidentally stepped on. I am proud to say that my team helped out so much and also that they did so well! I couldn't be with a better group of people. Now I'm going to catch up on some sleep. Tomorrow is a new adventure! -Kristina V. Hewitt

Hey today was such a CRAZY day. I'm so tired, what an adventure? We did spackling, and sanding. The man named Jim had at least 3 cats, and they kept getting in the way. Mr. Aument stepped on one of the cats tail. At the end of day I say it was worth it. Just a very wild experience. -Azriella Gibbs

Oh hey...Our first day of work was hard, we sanded and spackled. We worked with a man named Jim who is in a wheelchair. It was hard getting started but when we got the ipod doc and got music going it became easy. Our main challenge was working around all the cats and not letting them out. They got out three times and Mr. Aument became the kitty catcher for the day. Now we need our sleep to prepare for tomorrow, ttyl. -Danielle M. Friel

Hello, This morning we went to Athens for our first day of work. We helped a man named Mr. Campbell who has lots of cats. In the beginning we were sanding the walls and the work was a little slow. But then we brought out the ipod the pace sped up and we were having a blast and getting the job done. I also put up insulation in one of Mr.Campbell's rooms. I really enjoyed that because i never used a nail gun. Today was a great day and really have fun helping and learning new skills. I almost forgot Mr.Campbell cats were so cute and adorable!!! -Tavii El

Today I worked at Ms. Marilyn house in Asthen, Pa. For the first time in my life I spackled, sanded, and put up dry wall. I enjoyed my time there and learned a lot. I also learned of Ms. Marilyn's story and how out of surprise she had to evacuated and stay at a Fire Hall for three nights. I also witnessed how Ms. Marilyn has to do her dishes in her tub because she has no kitchen sink. The things that we take for granted ! - Candida Galvez
