Today was my first day here. I came down late Friday night due to some previous commitments and was extremely excited to Finally get down to the big apple and begin this fantastic trip. Though it was my first day, everyone else had been here for a while so they were already in the swing of things. After a early break fest we departed at 8 pm to go to meals on wheels, a located on the west side of Manhattan. Our job for that morning was to deliver meals for the weekend to elderly folk who were not able to leave their homes. My group, which consisted of Kat, Loren, Ms Nilan, and myself chatted up some older citizens who were extremely grateful. We were so efficient that we finished all our deliveries several hours earlier ghat expected. When we reached this discovery we quickly went to the second group who was in Harlem, cleaning up Jackie Robinson park. The first group did a fantastic amount of work and with our help we really pushed it over the top. The transformation was amazing and it was a wonderful experience. Everyone is looking forward to the festival tomorrow and it should be a fantastic time. Till tomorrow this is Andrew M signing off!
