From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
Over the past two weeks, I've been lucky enough to have the experience of working with a team of ladies out of a community close to Grimsby, and let's just say, they made my two weeks, a piece of cake.
Everyone was so welcoming, kind, generous with thoughtfulness and truly just showed how actions speak louder then words.
From my first day there, they invited me to participate in circle time, and this was weeks before my placement actually started helping me to adjust and fit in. I was thankful for the time I had to meet all of the little ladies and lads at this children's centre and grow a bit closer to God and help build or re-build my faith in the church, a bit. Further, and worth noting, cleanliness, kept me at ease of over the last two weeks knowing, they had a fixed routine, it seemed, where table cleaning and bathroom visits were of high importance.
Thankfully, there was snow for a few days, I was there. I got to see children making snow angels, build snow balls, go on a snow archeology dig for dinosaurs and much more. They helped me learn on a small scale, how much small gestures combined could make a large impact, and on a large scale, how emotional and physical support could help boost one's morale and increase learning that take place in a small community or setting. Overall, I had a wonderful time at this centre and look forward to any interaction with this community again.
Thank you to the mentors here, cooks, additional support staff, I was able to meet or interact with, centre leaders and this group of children, that helped brighten my two-week placement and let me learn something from them.
