A lot has changed with my project since my last entry. I have yet to hear from the organizations that I originally contacted, but another opportunity has fallen into my lap.
The two organizations I will be working with are Linc Twin Cities and the Kool Klub. Most of my hours will come from Linc, but will be supplimented by 3 hours a week at Kool Klub.
Kool Klub meets on Wednesday night. It is held at a local church, and reaches out mainly to Hmong and African-American children. The main goal of Kool Klub is to provide structure for these kids who do not have much in most aspects of their life. Some of the kids are very far behind socially, academically, and in other crucial areas. By working with them, even for just a few hours a week, I hope to make a difference.
Linc Twin Cities is another organization that I am very excited to work with. The main purpose of Linc to network local churches, especially in developmental areas. The work that I will be doing is traveling to different churches and talking about ways to better the community.
The details of both still need to be figured out. However, I met with Sue Hewitt of Linc and Pastor Radetz (spelling??) of Kool Klub, and we got a nice start. Hopefully, within the next week, I will actually be able to start my project.
