The second week I was there I played with and 11-year old named Makay. I wish I had my camera with me, because he was such a cute kid. He was also very bright, and knew the words to basically any Disney song. We spent a lot of our time coloring, and his pictures were very nice.
One of the things I started coloring was my name. After I outlined it all and did some stripes on my "H," Makay looked over and very cutely said, "May I help you finish that?" He spent probably 30+ minutes coloring it, because he was being so careful about making it perfect with just the right stripes. Here is the finished product:
He added the heart at the end all by himself. Didn't he do a great job?
Volunteering, especially with children and special ed kids is so much fun. Do you have any good stories about volunteering (with children or not)?
wow, that's so sweet. it almost makes me wish i was doing something more social for my service hours.
ReplyDeleteAlmost.
oh by the way... these comments from "Jane" are from me. Chelsea.
ReplyDeleteThat's sweet. He did a good job on the coloring.
ReplyDeleteI liked volunteering with the band. Being a band mom was really fun. Getting to know the band members, as well as the other band parents, was a fun way to spend volunteer time.
That's sweet. You should hang on to that drawing so you can remember the great time you had serving.
ReplyDeleteOops. I already threw it away, Bec. I figured a picture of it on my blog would be remembering it enough without having to keep up with a sheet of paper.
ReplyDeleteAnd Chelsea... didn't you say you were working on acquiring a blog?
