From the Kids today!

hi richmond..we are having a great time here in new york city. The trip has been very rewarding, but I think it is time for us to grace our presence in Kentucky again. Today was our free day and we got to see various things such as the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown, and the Empire State Building. While this was fun, i'm sure most of us missed the senior citizens and the food kitchens. Trips like these really make a person realize how fourtunate they are and makes them realize to not take what they have for granted because there are many people throughout the world who have it way worse than any of us can imagine! Anyways, see everyone soon! (We're not looking forward to the train ride back!)-Chase Weitkamp

New York has been a lot of fun. I've enjoyed the work we have done and the places we have visited. I am very ready to come home, even though we have to spend 20 hours on a train.-Clinton Weitkamp

I guess it's my turn. I love New York!!! It is so much different from Richmond and although I love my old Kentucky home, New York City is the place to be. There are so many people and places it's unbelieveable. At first it was overwhelming, no lie. As the days went by I became very aware that NYC is a very busy place, but everyone has there own schedule. So you either move over...or get run over. Very simple rule to live by. The work we have done has been so hard, both physically and emotionally. Never have I seen so many people out of a home or without something to eat. It breaks my heart to see all different kinds of people such as children, elderly, homeless, working people etc. without something to eat at the end of the day, or on the sides of streets looking for change. It's a whole different world up here. The work has been very fullfilling on a happier note. The smiles of the people are soo contagious. They are so greatfull that we contributed and it really is worth while. I know i'm writing alot...stay with me, i'm almost done.I loved loved loved Times Square! It was so busy and there was so much stuff! I was in heaven. My plan is to move up here and work at Virgin Records and room with the cashier that I met...she is infact my new best friend. I also loved China Town, so much cheap stuff. Oh its great here in NYC and you better believe I will be coming back. Thank you for your time =] We should be back soon...that is if the train isn't delayed ha.peace and love.-Sara Byers
