Hey everyone,
Well today was our first official day of working in Denver. Last night we went on a prayer tour and drove around the different parts of the city and learned about how each gentrification is changing the neighborhoods. Anyways back to today, my group went to the Clayton House to go play with the preschoolers. Most of them come from low income families. When we walked into the classroom we all sang a song so the kids would get to know our names. Then the kids picked one of us to be their buddy for the day. My buddy was a really sweet little boy who I can't give out his real name in order to protect him. We then read our buddy a book, which they got to take home with them. After that we did arts and crafts, played with toy race cars, and then we played outside. At the end of our stay all of our buddies took our name tags to remember us which was really cool. Unfortunatly our time there was really short because these kids were awesome. It was amazing to see how that even though these kids come from a poor home life they showed a lot of respect for one another and were extremely well mannered. Well thats all I have for now, I hope everyone is doing well back home.
