This session I visited on Thursday. I transferred closed case files and then read the newspaper to find clippings related to migrant workers. Although this was relatively "menial" work, we had to be meticulous and concentrate on our work, to decipher their handwriting and complete all the case files, as well as skim the newspaper speedily but conscientiously. Moreover, it made me feel thankful for the life that I have when recording their wages and their living accommodations and working hours. I hope that through our work, we can improve not only our own work ethic but their lives as well.
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.
