(no subject)
i volunteered at the friendship place for NHS today. i guess it's basically just this old house where kids can go after school and do their hw and whatnot. it's across from meadow park apartments, so if you know rochester you know that's a bad neighborhood. most of the kids were either somali, mexican or hmong. i really felt good about doing it though, and i think if i can i would really like to go back. the lady who runs it (or whatever it is that she does...i'm not sure) said that most of the kids only have one parent and they aren't involved in any sort of after school sports or activities or anything because there is no one to drive them, and you could tell that a lot of them get their clothes secondhand from the donation bins in the basement of the house. those little somali girls are so pretty though. anyway i'm rambling but it was pretty cool.
