Hi this is Blake and Brandon AND the amazing Nikole,
We're here at the Lantern in San Francisco. It's a school to learn English as a second language and also a place to gather . It's our second day here and we have already improved the building greatly. On Monday, we weeded, painted a bathroom white, folded clothes (which will go to the salvation army), organized the kitchen, and sterilized the chairs and tables. We all had some fun times painting with our paint fights and war paint that Nikole did! After we finished working, we went to Garfield Park and drove through some parts of the city to look at the paintings on the buildings. Today we've been spot cleaning the floors, painting another coat in the bathroom, sorting and recycling garbage, and cleaning the bathrooms. During lunch we are going to the day labor to feed the workers. After lunch we plan on coming back to the Lantern and power washing the windows. So far we have all learned no matter what the task, big or small, it's always appreciated. Sister Mora runs the Lantern and it's inspiring to see how dedicated she is to help all these people. It's also really great how Sister Mora gives us a lot of delicious cookies and snacks while we're working. We Love Our Moms! ;)
