Thursday, July 30
















This morning we took two assessments...one on work readiness (how prepared we are to enter the work force) and another on health and gardening. After that we played a very exciting game of Food For Thought jepardy as a review for the whole program.


Four of us took some fresh foods from the Park Spring Garden and the Kimberton Waldorf garden and delivered them to the food pantry in Spring City with Mr. Ed and Mr. Mark. We met the pastors at the Church of Christ, where the pantry is. A couple of us who live in Spring City, volunteered to come and help again after the program is over.

In the afternoon we prepared the meal for tomorrow...our final day! One group made zucchini brownies, one made quiche, one chopped vegetables and the last prepared corn on the cob. Today was also a day to clean up from the whole program. Everyone had a good time cooking and are excited for tomorrow....and the big feast at Fellowship Farm!! Note: today was Ms. Denise's birthday--but she still came and spent the afternoon cooking with us. What dedication! Thank you and Happy Birthday, Ms. Denise!!


Some of us are already looking ahead to how we can continue to grow and learn: Andre is applying for a job at Marshalls. He asked Ms. Laura to help him fill out the application for the job; and Mr. Mark and Ms. Laura agreed to be references for him--since he has demonstrated his ability to work very hard and to keep a cheerful and positive attitude in every situation.
