Hello!

My name is Amanda and I'm currently living in Manchester. The last five months have been a whirlwind and have just flew by. Before I know it I'll be on a plane home!

Now, today I was at Mary and Joseph House. This morning I played pool with some of the residents and served tea. Soon I'll be a pro at pool and tea making. On Wednesdays, we have crafts, a group that I help run. Currently we are working on a big mosaic that is going to be framed and placed somewhere in the house. Craft days are fun because we listen to music and sometimes have sing-a-longs. It's also cool to see the creative side of the men. Well, that's about it for today. Tomorrow I'm at CCP and Cornerstone!

Will blog again soon,

Amanda

Keep these artilces coming as they've opened many new doors for me.

A little about me...

I was raised in a military family, so I grew up all over the place, from Louisiana to Germany. The past few years I lived in North Carolina and attended college there. I’ve recently graduated from Western Carolina University with a degree in Social Work. I wanted a gap year because I felt I needed a change. I was after something different and where I could gain some experience. Not to mention it sounded like quite the adventure! It was simple how I found the VVs. A quick search online for service programs and the Vincentians came up. I feel incredibly lucky that I was given this chance! The program has afforded me the opportunity to grow in myself and my faith. I’m certain my experiences so far will prove useful in the future.
