“The purpose of life is not to be happy, but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all.”\u00a0 Leo Rosten<\/p>\n
The theme for last night’s reflection was focused on the effect of coal on the region and particular the women in the region.\u00a0 We were asked to share with the group women whom we thought exemplified the strong, resilient woman of the area.<\/p>\n
Being Friday, today volunteers spent the day doing “non home repair” activities.\u00a0 The tutoring continues to be a successful program with the children enjoying themselves immensely.\u00a0 We also sent a group to help with UGWA (Upper Guyandotte Watershed Association) and their water monitoring project.\u00a0 After finishing up there, the group went to Twin Falls for a late lunch and a hike to the falls.\u00a0 We also had our second installment of the home repair class at St. Vincent DePaul.\u00a0 Today the students were taught how to drywall and to fix small holes. Volunteers also took the time to go out and visit people they have met previous summers.\u00a0 By the sounds of it everyone had a great day.<\/p>\n
Tonight for dinner we will be treated with fish and chips, and curry.\u00a0 Yummy, yummy in the tummy.
