Another day at The Village and we have started to incorporate our ideas and dreams into our work. There are so many things to be done that it is difficult to decide where to begin. I worked to rearrange banners from different organizations who have helped at The Village and installed some bookshelves to create a reading room. The banners show how many people have helped turn The Village into a reality and show just how far The Village extends. Yesterday, we spent the day at a ranch, which will host retreats for children from New Orleans, many of whom have never been outside of the city. Perhaps experiencing life on the ranch will have a positive impact in their lives, give them a new way to look at things, and encourage them to stay out of trouble.
