Monday, July 9th : Day 1

Day 1 of the project is off to an exciting first day. We began with Human Bingo, my favorite part of the day. Some highlights included learning that Oumaru had spent the first 9 years of his life in West Africa and speaks 3 languages, Angelica's grandmother run a bakery out of her home (Sophia was interested in having cake)and Teeyana has family in Jamaica that she will visiting in August.
Lunch time, brought good pizza and continued conversation/banter, some subjects included how chitlins are prepared to what a hot dog is made of. Yuck! No one cared for the orange soda, maybe this was because we were drinking out of bathroom paper cups. Mr. Love made an appearance, or shall I say Dr. Love and handed out discounted bus passes. Yeah!
The day ended with the sharing of our understanding of the Civil Rights Movement. I heard lots of curiosity and energy in the room. We're off to a great start!
