second day

Today we continued working at the Food kitchen with Just the Right Attitude and I will say it is very fun working with these individuals. Today we continued packing and for us guys, taking bags and at times boxes to individuals cars. Of course we automatically helped out the women. It was awesome talking to the locals because when ever they seem to be so upbeat, even though they are going through a lot. I guess they have to keep a positive attitude in a time when everything else seems to be going bad. Also, the locals are very grateful. There was this one woman that kept telling me "I hope you enjoy New Orleans because that is important". Also, many of us played this one game called Mad Gab. The whole objective of the game is to try to get the phrase, name, movie or whatever from this sentence that makes no sense. An example is Hire Or Myth. The actual word is supposed to be Aerosmith. It is a pretty fun game. Things I forgot to mentioned yesterday are we are staying at the Carrollton Christan Methodist Church, which is located on South Carrollton. In addition, yesterday we had reflections and I did this one activity called I am From..... The whole point of this activity was for my group to get to know each other and kind of where we come from. I will say it was pretty successful, however, I tried to get the group to reflect about the day and that was not as successful. More stuff I forgot to mentioned, the four individuals that are in charge of this whole project are Alice, Valerie, Sidney, and Fatima. They are all pretty cool individuals and it seems they are on top of things. I do applauded them for everything that they have done. I know there are some things that are working and while other things are not working but they still do not give up. I do admire them.
The individuals on this trip are all pretty cool. I got to meet a lot of them and I am working on their names. Some individuals I talk to more than others and some I got their names down, while others I have to continue to ask them for their name. Everyone brings a different experience, everyone brings a different type of energy and everyone is making this trip work some how. I think there will be times when some of us will have to step up to the plate and take charge of something because the 4 organizers are always busy. So far I am having a lot of fun and I hope that will continues. Until tomorrow.
