11/7/2021 1 Comment Unexpected ProgressThis week, unexpected progress was made! Kadence went to Winston Salem to pick up some things and gave out the remaining bags to people in need. With already having the bags in her car due to the previous trip, she thought it was the perfect opportunity. The group has struggled finding time to meet due to their conflicting schedules. Because of this, Kadence decided to act on this opportunity. Unlike the previous trip to Winston, Kadence did not video this progress. She didn’t want to worry about videoing on her phone while driving. With having little done so far, this progress is exciting. It is also overwhelmingly exciting to bring joy to people in need.
Many hand out money to help those in need, but our group wanted to focus on handing out specific necessities. Food is always important, but what are some other things that are crucial that we may not think about? “My mom told me a story of a guy that she gave her dinner leftovers to. She walked up to him and sat on the bench he was sitting on. She handed him the food then had a conversation with him. The man shared that he was worried about the cold coming. He explained how the cold hurt his old frail bones.” Kadence shared. This story provided us inspiration for our next step in this project. Instead of making more food bags, we have decided to create blanket bundles with hand warmers. Like the food and hygiene bags we made, we will create six bundles to provide to those in need. We are inspired to communicate and connect with the people we interact with. Our group had discussed communicating deeper with those we come across, but found it challenging to do so in the busy traffic of Winston. We will need to discuss how we will go about this. We are excited to take these next steps in completing our project!
