Our barefoot language class had the opportunity to minister to and visit with young men who are recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. The not-for-profit organization that houses and feeds these men also teaches them woodworking and construction skills they can use to earn money when they graduate from the program. The items they build are sold to the public and those funds are the sole support for the organization.
Three of the people from our class taught a cooking class and each young man was given a bowl to sample. They made Hobo Stew using a coffee can to cook it in the oven. Scott and I taught a very short class on budgeting and another classmate taught them how to put together a business plan.
The next day our class traveled to a nursing home to visit with the older people to encourage them. Some of the ladies in our class made homemade cookies and we sang a couple of songs for them in Spanish. I think they enjoyed our visit and they were very gracious to listen to our bad Spanish!
