Mrs. Flores Project-10/24/09

Charity job complete ...


We destroyed and removed an old rotting shed along with many other chores.

This resulted in a lot of newly homeless lizards. The heart of one young man melted as we came across this adorable little one, so he decided to adopt it.
Most of the time you simply can't get in and out of a project and go back to your old life without any changes.

New relationships are established which simply must be furthered. In this instance, the widow's face lit up as we were there working and we were disappointed as other commitments forced us to leave.

Then there are the relationships formed with new people we meet in the process of completing the project. Each volunteer sees or knows something that the others don't, so we endlessly learn from one another.

The projects are invariably as much of a benefit to the volunteers who give their time and resources as for the recipients.

A gentleman from the City of Fremont came over to see how our project was progressing and take some pictures. We were very much appreciative of the Make A Difference Day as well as Compassion Network for making this happen.
