In the morning, we were at West Care Orchard. We didn’t have much work to do so we had a group activity called “gift seats” where we talked about our opinions about working with each other. After that our intentions were to go help the community by picking up trash. There was no trash in the gardens, so we ended up continuing gift seats and talking amongst each other. Later in the afternoon we went to Victory Garden Initiative. There, we got to try fresh cherries, which were very sweet. Marii and Jacelia fell in love with the cat and named it Milo. Later we got to meet some kids from Detroit. Todd and Marii danced for them and we introduced ourselves and so did they.
