Work Day Two

Dear Parents,

Today, we went to “Rescue Ranch” and helped an amazing woman named Lori fix up her farm. We did everything from turning up a garden to grooming the horses. While some others in the group fixed up a fence and painted Fourth of July signs. At the end of day Lori told us the story about why this was the way she served others and how it was what she chose to do in life. Working together through the mud and rain was hard work, but being surrounded by people who want to help and serve others. The farm was created for children with disabilities, animals that have been injured, veterans with PTSD and students that have been through obstacles and want to regain hope for a better future. Today was a very inspiring day for all of us. We will continue to serve and love others.

Today’s work was helping repair a school. I helped move tables and stuff around to ready the room for the children and teachers. Others did things such as moving boxes and furniture between rooms, and helping the teachers with whatever they wanted. I’m glad I went there because I enjoyed helping the teachers, they were very grateful, and I liked how I was indirectly helping the students to get a good education. Going to help the school was fun and I would do it again because I like to help.

Today, we helped out a school get ready for the new 2015-2016 school year. We moved boxes, tables, and helped set up rooms. It was a very neat experience to help teachers and therefore helping students K-8. I’m very happy that I chose to visit the school to help them out with preparation. We helped the school for the children of New Orleans.
