Philly through a trekker's eyes....Sonia

Wednesday - Sonia's Story Wednesday was a great day. In the morning we worked at Manna, packaging meals for people with diseases like AIDS and cancer. In the afternoon we helped at the day care by chaperoning the kids while we all skated. We spent the evening touring the St. Francis Inn where Katie Ross, from HFK, is volunteering. Packaging meals at Manna was as intense as playing a video game. It was also a very rewarding experience because we got to see all the meals that we had prepared (there were many). Skating in the afternoon was a refreshing change from the ordinary and we had just as much fun as the kids. It was especially nice helping out the ones that obviously had no experience skating. Touring St. Francis Inn with Katie, I was immensely inspired by the effort that was being put into helping the Kenzington neighborhood. I was deeply touched by how close the team and the guests were described to be and I would love to go back and help there if I get the chance. Wednesday was the day when I really got into my work emotionally and I got the strong feeling that I want to on more missions in the future.
