These days I spent time with the kids coloring, playing ring around the rosy (fan favorite), more arts and crafts, and working on life skills. We did some team-building activities as well as some ice breakers, and towards the end of my time, I did some admin work such as helping to coordinate team meetings and faculty meetings. We welcomed some new friends and let them join. It was a super fun few days, filled with learning new skills and spending time with sweet kiddos.

During my time at Lifesoure today, I was finishing up building backpacks that would be given to the kids after summer camp. It was a good day, and it was also my last day. I have loved volunteering my time at this place throughout this semester.

During my time at Lifesource today, I was organizing some more school supplies and making backpacks for the kids to take home with them after summer camp. I was adding school supplies to the backpacks, so things like pens, pencils, scissors, and everything a kid would need. I also did some light organizing in one of the rooms.

During my time at LifeSource today, I was organizing a room. The room I was organizing was a room mainly of art supplies and school supplies. I really enjoyed this because I love organizing, and it was nice to know that when I was done it would be easier for the people who need to access those materials to do so much easier than before.

During my time at LifeSource today, I was doing a little bit of everything. I was the only student volunteer during this time, so seeing the environment with fewer people was interesting. I did work with one of the people that work there for pretty much the whole time, and she showed me some new things I haven't seen there before.

During my time at LifeSource today, I was building food bags. had never done this before, and I got to connect with other people there during this time- both workers and volunteers. I enjoyed this day because it was a time when I felt like I made a direct impact. What I was doing would be directly given to those in need, so that felt good.
