A Potpourri of Pictures

A picture is worth a thousand words. Consider this post a thesis on the amazing impact YouthWorks has had on the community of Martin ... and on us.

This morning some of our groups (including the lovely Celia N.) helped beautify the grounds of the nursing home.

Maggie W. attacks the weeds in the parking lot.

This curb is weed-free thanks to Ella S.

Marcus C. takes safety very seriously on the worksite. 

Kris O. and Nick S. made sure we were well-fed at lunch.

Isabella gives one of about a million piggy-back rides at the Kids' Club.

This is one of the few times I saw James P. sitting down ... usually he was playing soccer or tag (or being chased with water balloons).

Each kid got a big bag of school supplies today. Ayoka L. and Andrew C. helped get this boy excited about going into kindergarten in the fall.

Tonight our friend Alex, who spoke to our group at the pow wow grounds on Tuesday, came and danced for us. 

All of our kids had smiles on their faces this evening. Sara H. even got to dance with a new friend.
