Yesterday, one of our groups began a new job assignment with a Franciscan monk, Brother John, in a cafe for the homeless. We had an awesome time preparing and serving lunch- which was delicious! Brother John is delightful and we totally enjoyed our time there. Maddy enjoyed the busyness of the cafe by taking care of two tables in the cafe. Today was our last day with Brother John because tomorrow is CANADA DAY!
The other groups continued to work in the factory and at the school. Deborah reports that today at the factory the best part was getting to know the people at the factory and enjoyed their enthusiasm! Kenso was a favorite of Jess, Rosa, Alex and Kyle! Ms. Lesa has kept her factory workers happy by McDonalds visits! The factory group has seen their share of notebook paper.
Last night, we all packed sack lunches and experienced a four hour tour of downtown Toronto, focusing on the homeless. We walked through the “Times Square” of Canada, the “Wall Street” of Canada, a very nice shopping district and the homeless district. We arrived home very late and very tired.
Tonight we will be traveling to China town for a scavenger hunt. The new bus has been wonderful and surprisingly easy to drive even in the heart of the city.
Tomorrow is Canada Day! We will be enjoying the fireworks and celebrations around town.
