Today was our first full day of work. They have us distributed among several projects that I'll briefly try and explain. We are here with another high school youth group from Minnesota. The programs are as follows:
Project Open Hand delivers hot meals to people who are homebound because of HIV/AIDS and also to other terminally ill people who are homebound. They have expanded to include a grocery center and nutrition counselling. Their goal is to ensure that the ill have nourishing food to help in their struggle against disease or debilitating health conditions. The youth will primarily be working in the grocery center and help with preparing meals.
Salvation Army Warehouse: the youth will be helping to sort and inventory donations. They will also be sorting toys into age appropriate categories. They also will be putting together hygiene kits for distribution.
