A Great Start!

Hello Everybody,

We made it safe and sound to Camden. Our train was 40 minutes late getting into Philadelphia but we made it to the Service Works Center just in time for recess at the local Catholic elementary school, Holy Name. After recess we had orientation with Fr. McCue, the center director, and then participated in the Holy Name walk-a-thon around the block. After a quick lunch and room assignments, we split into three groups. One group helped at at after school care playing the school children. Another group weeded the community garden and the third swept and weeded the school playground.

We are now getting ready for dinner, pasta and eggplant from the community garden. After dinner Kenny, one of the men who works with the center and was formally homeless is giving a presentation.

Please pray for us as the Phillies play at 8:36 and we have a mix of Phils and Cards fans. It's going to be a great night.

We will try to post some photos from the day.
