2013 JH Mission: Austin - Day One

6/17/2013

0 Comments

 
Day One is behind us and as relax for the evening I grabbed a couple students to get their reflections for the day:
By Kaylee Hane, Breakmaker for Crew #9 and Haylee Wade, Organizer for Crew #10
Today at Dream a Dream Therapeutic Horsemanship we had a
great time helping special needs children. We met three children; Jordan, David,
and Mariner. David was very familiar with getting the horse ready to ride. He
had his music set up and started singing to the horse, Gracie. It was so sweet,
we have never seen anything like it. We also realized how lucky we are to be
working with special needs children. Our hope is that the rest of the week will be just
as great as today!

 
Evan Matthews, Quartermaster for Crew #13
Well, today at Georgetown Housing Authority, I handed out
flyers for computer classes and met some nice people. After that, we went to
the Stonehaven Senior Center and met Helen. She taught us how to play spades
and skip-bo. It was fun playing with them.

 
Abbey Bing, Devotion Leader for Crew #7
Today I went to an
Elderly “Day Care”. We dealt with elderly people with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
It was very interesting to see how they acted. I could tell they appreciated us
being there! We played an intense game of BINGO, started a puzzle and held a
ring toss tournament. Spending a day with them and having many conversations, I
realized how amazing people are and I’m glad I have a good memory! I enjoyed
today and I’m exited to go back!



Our COTHA gang is split into crews and have been assigned their positions for the week.  Group Missions split the missioners into crews of 5-6 people and then each missioner has a job within the crew...
Work Director: Oversees the crew's work to get the project completed. 
Quartermaster: Gets extra supplies and equipment the crew may need.
Break Maker: Makes sure crews have food and drinks and takes breaks throughout the day.
Devotion Leader: Leads the crew's daily devotion. 
Organizer: Keeps the crew mission packet and first aid kit.
Progress Reporter: Reports to staff each day about the project.
