Swat Moment



Some of the kids got the chance to deliver food again. This time they got to visit another lady and she took them out on to her roof for a look at the city. Here they are looking at everything.
















We had to mix up the groups a bit today because of the age requirements for two of our sites. So, that meant that some of us went to the Foodbank Kitchen to work today and some of us stayed back at the Church to bake cornbread muffins. We had already baked a bunch of muffins and a cake to take to the Foodbank Kitchen. In fact, we our clean up crew showed up there today to scrub down the place, we walked in to see the staff giving out "our food" to their clients! The kids (and adults) were energized by this. The cornbread muffins we baked today were completely mixed and poured by the kids (baked by grownups) and taken to the kitchen. On the way there, our food transportation group was stopped at a bus stop waiting to catch a connection bus to the final destination. While there, we got to see some real NY life..... there were screeching tires of plains clothed police officers. They stopped their car in the middle of the street and ran down into the subway. For me, it was tense moment because..... you never know..... fortunately, it went OK and a few minutes later the officers returned to their car and left.

I love the hairnets in all of the pics! I hope that you all are having a wonderful time, learning a lot about each other, yourselves and the world around you. NYC is so different from our everyday lives here it gives you a sense of appreciation for what you have and the opportunities that are available to you....
