Hey fam and friends!
Here's a quick update on the haps in Chi-town. After our free day spent exploring Chicago at the bean and Second City Improv, we were excited to start volunteering Monday. These past two days volunteering with WDSRA and ASPIRE have been absolutely amazing. Monday morning we headed over to WDSRA and after a brief training session some of us went to the Rec and Roll talent show while the rest of the group played basketball and games with the WDSRA members. We were welcomed warmly by all the members and had a great time getting to know them! Then we headed over to ASPIRE where we had a great info/training session then split into two groups to go to our assigned homes. These homes have 5 residents who live together and all have jobs in the community. There we played games with them and ate dinner together.
Today, we spent the morning and afternoon with WDSRA doing activities ranging from yoga to nutrition learning. Everyone is always so nice and positive, we love our time with WDSRA. Then we headed to our same homes as the night before with ASPIRE. Both groups watched Frozen with our ASPIRE members and enjoyed a delicious bowl of chili for dinner.
(Besides volunteering we spend our time jamming to Queen B, eating cookie dough and playing rock hero getting turnt on the Naperville.)
Til next time, friends!
