Worm Hole Wall

One of my group's primary responsibilities was to build a restraining wall around a series of worm holes. These worm holes were directly adjacent to where many of the kids played soccer and volleyball.

The wall was only about 150 feet in length. At first glance, I figured we could easily finish the project in a day. But that wasn't true. What I quickly found was that progress was slow when you didn't have the right equipment or the right materials. In one of the photos below, you can see the wood pile from which we gathered our materials.

My Favorite Job - Spending Time with John

John is somewhere in the 4 to 6 year age range (no one really knows) who suffers from cerebral palsy.

Each day at meal time, John's care taker (a wonderful volunteer who was with John 24x7) would bring him to the table. It was my true pleasure to eat quickly and then spend the remainder of meal time holding John, walking him around, and telling him all about the snow in Colorado.

He made me smile every day.
