Service Learning RELS 204 Fall 2007: Maria House
Last night I went to the Maria House, even though I have passed the minimum hours I still continue to go because I really enjoy going and I know I am helping the women by watching their children so they can enjoy some recreation time alone. Last night was different because the women stayed at the house and carved pumpkins. I had a great time watching them all work together. For many of them it was their first time carving pumpkins and they really seemed to enjoy it. The children watched and help pull the"goo" out as they called it. There were a lot of smiles in the room and there was such a positive atmosphere. I learned that there are so many things that we take for granted such as something so simple as carving pumpkins but for some people they don't get the chance to engage in something so fun.

that it is really cool. that is why i think that sometimes we need to get ourselves out of that monotony and do something different, and not different by changing atmosphere that we go, different by changing somebody else life
