Day 2

3-8-2009

Today we got to sleep in (which was great by the way). Then it was our day to go to the Frisk Center Museum. It was amazing. We went to see the exhibit “Seeing Ourselves in the pictures from Safe Haven”. There were some very, very exciting pictures there. I really enjoyed looking at them. The museum was a very awe-inspiring experience. It was like the pictures spoke to me when I was there. There was a picture there that I really enjoyed, of the kids with their feet in the water that looked like they were washing their sheets in a bucket, it said that even through their suffering experiences they can find joy and play through resilience. I really enjoyed going to this museum. It really showed me how the homeless see the world through their eyes and it was a great experience. This gave me a new way to look at the world also, and I really appreciated.

Later in the evening we went downtown and we saw some homeless people, and discussed how many saw and from being in the shelter we could tell who was homeless and everyone knew, and it was pretty sad. We didn’t what to do or say but we had a great day and the museum and downtown, and can’t wait to see what the rest of the week is going to bring.
