October Update
Hello! This is our apartment's second blog update over our Summit project. Fun fact-- we actually ended up switching community partners. One of of our biggest challenges August-October was getting to meet with our community partner. Problems consistently came up and they never were able/willing to meet with us. Our group decided that it was for the best to switch partners.
We are now working with Harmony House, a community partner that a Summit group is already working with. We are combining our groups because we only have 3 people and they also only have 3 people. Our primary focus with Harmony House is "parents night out" where we give parents the opportunity to spend a few hours without their children. During this time our group will host movie nights or other activity nights.
This is where a majority of our service hours are going to come from, but we also are doing separate volunteer work at Harmony House to get the rest of the hours.
It was difficult in the beginning because we tried to reach out to our old community partner but we never made any progress. With Harmony House we feel like we will have the opportunity to really get involved and make a difference. We're excited to have a new chance at working in the Springfield community.
