Today i went to a daycare/summer school program for kids from the Projects with Lydia Nelson, Lily Brown, Claire Romey, and T-Money. They were all ages and probably the cutest kids I've ever seen. One of the hardest things about this day was being around these children who you know are struggling and hurting and not being able to give them a hug or just hold them when they try to crawl in your lap. We were discouraged from being affectionate physically with the kids because it was important for the kids to learn the value of their own personal space. We also didn't want them getting attached to us because we weren't going to be in their lives for more than a couple days. All of these kids were so bright and energetic, by the time our hour break came around we were all passed out on the floor due to pure exhaustion. This experience was one of the hardest and most heartwarming I've had in years and i know it will be one of my favorites of this trip.
Miss everyone at home! Hope the thunderstorms aren't freaking out the doggie anymore. i love you all. <3
