This session Charlotte and I visited on Thursday, as we were both busy on Friday (the day we usually go). We joined the regulars for Thursday, Svasti and Sherson. Svasti and I were tasked with administrative tasks: sorting a large pile of random files into chronological and alphabetical order, then organising them and hole-punching them and putting them into the according large binders on a high shelf. We conversed and had to learn how to manoeuvre ourselves in the narrow space, as well as stay positive and constantly lend each other a hand in taking down high and heavy binders, and putting it back. Although this was relative "menial" work, I really appreciated the patience and spacial skills, and physical strength in order to sort through the mountain of files and organise them accordingly.
Today we had an Acquaintance party to get to know all the staff and volunteers part of this meaningful project. The food was great, the people were great, and it was great seeing everyone kick back and relax on a Friday afternoon. It was especially nice to see the mission workers' children and watching them play around in St. John's Cathedral.
