We started our day off volunteering at Frederick Elementary School again. On our way there half our group had the wrong address entered into our GPS and ended up getting very lost. We had the road as Frederick road instead of avenue and we ended up in Ellicott City. After our nice scenic drive we figured out the right address and finally arrived at the elementary school. We returned to the same classrooms we volunteered at on Tuesday. The kids were very excited to see us come back and seemed more receptive to us helping them. It was really hard to leave, we had many of them gripping our legs or arms when we tried to leave and begging us to stay or to come back. It was one of our favorite places to volunteer; we are hoping we can find a way to come back again.
We then grabbed some lunch and went to Sara's House for the first time. It was located on the army base, Fort Meade. After having a discussion with one of the guys in charge about what Sara's House does, we started helping out. Half of us went outside to take inventory 0f the shed while the other half organized their toy room. We then helped serve dinner and ate with the family's staying there. The children staying there were very excited to talk and play with us. After dinner we all split up with some of us helping kids with their homework, others tutoring families, and the rest of us sorting their canned food.
