Tae Action Project Part 1

Well first off, I helped volunteer at the shelter of flint with Roger, Dennaro, Amanda and Desiree. The whole process was a long one. We had to drop off paperwork that had a background check to it. I waited and waited and since I never herd back from them saying I was not allowed I figured I should come anyways. It ended up being my paperwork was misplaced but Petra who is the shelters coordinator still let me volunteer with my group, for that I am really grateful for. Roger, Desiree and I got there around 6pm while Dennaro and Amanda got there at 6:30 and we thought that was a little early, but we still went inside. Thank goodness we got there early because as we were setting up our tables with all the crafts and supplies, we realized that it had taken us a lot longer.  We ended up having a few samples of different crafts that they could make which included snowmen, snowflakes and Rudolf! When I went back upstairs to giver Petra my paperwork again, 2 little girls came up to me and gave me hugs. I was truly surprised! For this I made cookies and Amanda had brought candy canes so that after they were done they could all enjoy a snack afterwards. All in all, all the kids loved it. They were just so happy they could do something fun. When they were doing this, the mothers were able to do other things like chores, or laundry or even have time to themselves without the kids.  We are going back next week to do more things.
