Today I went to service alone, and later Sherson joined. My primary activity today was looking through the case files of four full binders, and checking if they had submitted a permission form for the Mission to represent them legally, filling out the results on a checklist. Although this was slightly dull, it reminded me that perseverance ultimately can pay off in the form of social change, and in filling out this paperwork, I know that my efforts resulted in the legal cases of these migrant workers in being solved and in their eventual receiving of their rightful treatment.
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.
