A life of service

Mackenzie was able to participate in an amazing opportunity today. As a part of student council, she and the other council members got to volunteer at the Capuchin Soup Kitchen. They were also able to tour the kitchen's greenhouse (yea to urban farming!), and visit/work in the On the Rise bakery that services the kitchen. Out of respect for the homeless men and women that Mackenzie served lunch to, I didn't take any photos at the soup kitchen. It was a really powerful experience and Mackenzie was hopefully inspired to continue to help others.

On a side note, yesterday they had a disabilities workshop all day yesterday, showing the kids first hand what it's like to have a disability, including autism, a vision impairment, a physical handicap, tremors, etc. Another powerful experience. I love seeing all of this through her eyes <3
