Hi, Liv White here.
Today we started our day with a quick breakfast. After eating, we had a walking tour of the two buildings of the campus, led by a Gannon employee, Desi. The Ruskin campus truly is beautiful and feels like Gannon!
The classrooms were incredible and state of the art. Some of us talked about how we could see ourselves going to Ruskin for grad school!After our tour, we had a quick presentation on the organization we were going to be volunteering at all day, the Mary and Martha house.
The Mary and Martha house is an organization that houses women and their dependent children who are victims of domestic violence. We worked at their main office, helping them paint a shed, paint a bathroom, and organize supplies that had been donated. A few of us even got to work at the on-site thrift shop! The staff of the Mary and Martha house were so hospitable and we can’t thank them enough for their generosity and all they do for the community. They are truly everyday heroes.
We finished our day with a homemade dinner of grilled chicken and veggies. We all worked together to make and serve the meal. Our labors were delicious! Everyone is really excited for the rest of the trip, and we can’t wait to see what else is in store!
