High school Urban plunge day 2
Today started a little earlier than yesterday. Today was known as poverty day. The students were split into groups of about 5 and we went to Kroger and had $10 to spend on all the meals for their families and PB&J was a family favorite. After breakfast students then broke into two groups... group 1 was Sam's group and group 2 was Kaila's group. Group 1 went to New Hope Villa first, a transitional home for seniors with a mental illness and were homeless at one time. We got to sit and talk with the residents and then play kinect bowling, shuffleboard, and skip-bo/uno. The students loved it and the residents loved it more!
After that group one got to go paint a house with Rebuild Together Dayton. This is where our students did an amazing job painting in 95° weather. When we were finished there, we headed back to the firehouse before we went out to the park to eat dinner and cool off at a small water park. Meanwhile... when group 1 was at NHV and painting, group 2 was painting, first, and then at NHV for some Chair Volleyball. After the fun-filled night we came back for debrief and then Kaila gave her testimony. Overall the students did an amazing job of working hard and loving the people at New Hope Villa! I'm proud of them... pray for the energy of the students and for some awesome divine appointments.
Questions for your students...
1. What was your favorite part about poverty day?
2. What wasyour one story from New Hope Villa?
3. How was painting a house of people you didn't know?
4. What did you learn about poverty today?
5. What did you like/learn from Kaila's story?
