Monday

Today was a Canadian holiday so two of the teams started at a house used for volunteers and missionaries. Many of us were dirty by 11:00 am!!!! Not one complaint, they were great.

After lunch (and showers) we were challenged to an activity called "Life skills." This was an opportunity fir the kids to create their own way to serve for the afternoon. After a long discussion the kids decided to take out five dollars (out of their fifteen) to buy supplies for a mission started and held at the church we worked for this morning. This clinic was called STEP. This clinic is held once a week for women on the streets. They set up a safe place for women to go and get off they streets. At the clinic they have coffee and baked goods, activities and a ministry available with help to get off the streets.

For dinner we went for Greek cuisine. Pretty close to pork and rice. I think it was a hit.

When we were done eating we headed out to hand out bag lunches to the homeless on the streets. I think this was a real eye opener for the kids and and I am sure that you will hear they stories.
