Our YNIA working hard harvesting blueberries. Started out a little damp but not enough to dampen spirits of our group who are very joyful in their work to feed the hungry.
Reflections from our teens - demonstrating a growing awareness and sensitivity to the fact that many of the living situations and life experiences of the children they are working with are dramatically different than their own...
The theme on these Shirts was expressed at last night's group gathering. Following a large group activity which enabled our teens to gain a greater understanding of the challenges many face when endeavoring to feed their families, the leaders reminded us all that we are a Eucharistic people - as Christians we have no option but to be broken, poured out, and shared with others.
When asked "what are people hungry for," some of our teens identified that many are hungry for Joy and Love, having seen this so clearly with the children they are working with. They believe that their calling, this week, is to endeavor to bring joy and love to the children at their sites.
