Week 14

we are excited to be starting a new semester in the friends life afternoon program! on monday, since nashville public schools were not in session, we all got together and had lunch and helped out at feed the children.

we set our record this monday- 320 food boxes, to help them get a truck shipment out on time!






tuesday we introduced an art program that we hope to continue throughout the semester. steph, one of our staff members, is a talented artist and has agreed to hold art classes every monday. it was a huge hit. the first class was a lesson in experimenting with different mediums- to allow everyone some time to get used to using acryllics, water colors, pastels, and pencils. and of course, there was a lesson on how to properly care for our supplies!

we went to feed the children again on wednesday (2 times in one week- what a treat!) and made boxes for a group that was coming in later that day. we also had help from a couple family members- thanks to cindy and neil for helping us out!

we finished out the week with a much needed bowling session and setting up for room in the inn. we're excited to get back into our weekly routine!
