February and March Update

welcome back!

please check out our new website! because of our great new website, blog updates will now be available monthly. check back each month to see what we've been up to.

we've been getting outside and enjoying the brief warm weather this month! the afternoon program was also excited to welcome our new participant, jimmy. (pictured below with michael)



we've also been very excited to have our first alternative spring break group volunteering with us- all the way from central michigan. they have been a great help and encouragement to our participants, as well as a lot of fun.

here they are helping natalie with our wire and wood sculptures during art class.




we have continued to work hard at feed the children, mobile loaves and fishes, and room in the inn. we are sad to say that we are finishing up our last few weeks of room in the inn at the end of march!

a singer-songwriter and friends life volunteer, katie, came into the class to teach us about songwriting. she gave us a little concert, talked to us about what it took to write a song, and helped us compose one of our own! we also played around with rhythm on some drums.



remember, friends life is holding a summer program from july 6th to august 7th and spots are still available! we will be holding sign-ups until april 15th, so reserve your spot today by emailing friendslife2008@gmail.com!
