Wow! Temperatures were probably in the 90s this week! We had some groups that worked outside all day even though it was that hot, which is amazing!
another great week, minus a few complications (about 10 people got poison ivy). I really got to know a lot of the kids at the kids club that we run better this week. I was talking to two 7th grade girls about the area they live in, which is predominantly low-income, african american. They knew so much about the gangs in town, talked a lot about racism, and had friends and brothers who were either in jail or shot. It was a really eye-opening experience for me.
this past weekend we had some staff from Monnessen, PA come and visit us and it was nice to be able to show others around our town.
Hard to believe we only have 1 more month here! Time sure has flown by!
