Toronto 2010…Day 4…Good Shepherd…Regent Park…Sandwich Run
June 23rd, 2010 by admin

Today both groups started out at the Good Shepherd shelter where everyone got a tour and info about the shelter and more, then spent an hour making many beds.





Lunch was had at the shelter and many students ate lunch with people that were there to get a free meal. After lunch the weather turned to rain so we prepared for the afternoon. We made sandwiches and cleaned up the church.

The afternoon was spent on a walk through Regent Park, the name of the largest housing project in Toronto. Many people spent time talking to lots of residents there, then the walk ended by playing with lots of kids that were there in an after school program…school ends on June 29.



Dinner was poutine (a Canadian dish…google it), and the evening was spent on the sandwich run. The group was put into 3 small groups and travelled around downtown looking for people who might be in need of a bag lunch.



Another long, but very rewarding day…lots of great interaction between our students and people on the streets in Toronto…they did great. They were respectful and confident. You can see more photos at http://xroadsfcc.com/photos (tomorrow)
