It's our fourth day volunteering at the Chicago Asian Youth Center. There were less kids after school on Wednesday and Thursday because a lot of kids had track, so it was a little less chaotic. This meant more attention to the kids we were tutoring and less noise and distractions. Our craft and snack projects on Wednesday were s'mores and pony bead keychains! Thursday we made puppy chow (which took a very long time - try shaking up 40 bags of it) and wax paper suncatchers using crayon shavings. We even painted another mural -- this time a space theme.
The weather has been kind to us the past couple days, even hitting the 80's. It surprised us when we walked out of Chipotle for dinner this evening to encounter storm and hail. We had a very scary and wet run back to the van. Good thing the hail didn't dent the van!
Finally, tonight in our E&T session, we described and visually depicted the perfect volunteer based on our experience so far. Here's a picture of what he ended up looking like:
