Crazy SunDaY…

So yesterday we had our regular volunteer activity and it was a little nuts. There were 3 of us for ALL of the kids for our part of the activity. We tried to have them all make a drawing or write a poem about family (their family, NPH). Well, it ended up that almost all the tables got colored all over with the crayons and the place was trashed and it was slightly stressful. Or maybe I should take the stressful off that. It was very stressful. We ended up having to hunt all the kids down who wrote their names all over the tables and they had to come back and clean the whole dining hall.

But eh, over and done with. On a better note, I got to sit and chat with one of my girls. It was really nice. Her mom lives in Texas, with her sister too, and she really wants to go over there when she is 18 to be with her mom, rather than go to college. ALthough I don’t necessarily agree with that, it was cool to see her talk abotu what she really wants to do- make music and sing. And that is all she wants to do. She is a really good kid, and at least she has ambitions and dreams :) some kids here don’t. So we’ll try and convince her how important school is (and tell her she could study music!!!)

The winners got family photos taken, which we are going to print for them (from the drawing and poem contest), which i have added under the photobucket link :) Enjoy.
