May 24th, 2013 - Day 5
Although I have not
written in this journal over the last few days, I think it is important to
recognize the big things we have done during the last five days.
The
way in which I will do this is by recognizing the events we accomplished
yesterday. When we woke up early to go to Charlie’s Place, I was put into a
situation where I was dispersing medical supplies like medication and other
general items for the homeless. To me, this experience of working behind a desk
where homeless people arrived showed me the shifting moods of the people who
were arriving. After spending a night on the street, these men became elated to
eat both breakfast and lunch at Charlie’s Place. I saw men who were battling
various ailments yet were in a happy mood. They were appreciative of the
services they were receiving.
