Today is Tuesday March 15th, 2016 . This is Amber and Darren! We were able to sleep in a little bit longer today, which was awesome! We left around 8:15 am to go to Sasha Bruce's were we helped to set up for the Community Day. The event provided the community with free clothing, HIV/AIDS Testing, free condoms, and free snacks. Community Day reached out to both adults and children in need. We actually had a woman come in before we began and said she will return when Community Day begins. Her excitement was transparent by her tone and showed that a lot of people were in need of clothes, school supplies, and other household items. Once we were done with setting up for the event, we treated ourselves to coffee and doughnuts... Yummy! We arrived back at the The Pilgrimage and we cooked chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. Around 2:30 pm we went to the Poverty Stimulation. A variety of groups from other schools participated in the Poverty Stimulation. Everyone was assigned roles, such as a police officer, single mother, child, teachers, and social workers. For the next two hours we were able to be in their shoes and experience some of the hardships they go through every day. For instance, most families neglected health issues in order to pay rent and utilities. Also this simulation showed us how difficult it was for parents to keep a healthy relationship with their children because most of them were working late hours and even at home they would take their stress out onto the kids. Overall, we found the events today to be very informative and the events gave us a greater understanding about the effects of poverty on individuals.
