Last week we hosted Grand Valley State University from Michigan for their alternative spring break. All the students were education majors so they really wanted to work with the ASP. They did but not as much as they have liked since public schools were closed Monday and Tuesday for Easter break. Monday and Friday AM five of the ten helped with Food Distribution (see them unloading above) which was really great since both days we had a lot of food and a lot of folks. They also worked on the computer refurbishing project (we give these to low income families) and the listing of the items from the storage unit (yes, its empty and we are out from under that rent).for Craig's list. They labeled and measured all the items and took a picture. Tuesday afternoon they worked at Mountain View Cometary with Sarah Carter pulling weeds and removing stumps. I did two workshops with them, one on community development and one on issues of poverty. Thursday AM they had an economic tour of Radford and Pulaski. Each night we took turns cooking for them, Sunday I did beans and rice :); Monday Kathy did chicken, potatoes, green beans, and corn bread; Laura and Kayla made pizza Tuesday;and Valerie made spaghetti Wednesday. Thursday we got them subs which unfortunately we paid for twice (I found out today--got to get that straightened out).
These were a great group of kids and we really thank them for all their work for us.
