Planning Meeting

Today we had our first meeting with Isabel since all leaving on our Immersion trips and being gone for Spring Break. It was a little odd to get back in the swing of things however I think that we are all excited to continue our work with Border Angels and complete our 40 hours. I know that I for one do not want to be short for hours and have to write a longer essay reflecting on Volunteership. Today we made up our schedule for the next few weeks. We will be meeting on Tuesday, May 3rd to make crosses for the next Holtville Cemetery trip and afterwards we will be watching a film regarding the detrimental effects of the American border policies. Hopefully this isn't too sad of a movie as I had a hard enough time being at the cemetery on our last outing. We will also be meeting on Friday, May 6th to visit the day laborers outisde of Home Depot and bring them lunches, and - time permitting - we will also be bringing clothes and food to the immigrants that live in the caves in the canyons. Today was overall a productive day and I'm excited to finish out my hours and make my contribution to Border Angels.
