Transition House Cleaning Day - June 13, 2009
Fourteen students from Pulse, the college ministry of Great Exchange Covenant Church, took time out of their Saturday morning to join Andrea, Pastor Kevin, Sanjay, and the nine residents of our transition house to scrub bathrooms, mop floors, wash and paint walls, and make some new friends.
In addition to lots of elbow grease, the students got to know our current residents, who come from Bhutan, Iraq and Eritrea. They gave lessons on how to clean bathrooms and floors, and learned more about the residents and heard some stories of life in camps around the world.
We hope to continue our relationship with Pulse. They have been wonderful partners and friends to the refugees of San Jose and we look forward to working with them on future projects!
The work was hard, but I think they all had fun as well --
