Today was the long awaited scatterday! Three composite groups scurried off at three different times to three different work sites. One group, composite team two, woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed at 6 o-clock in the morning to drive over to CASA in Rockville, Maryland. After touring the site and meeting some clients at an English class, they worked with the smiling staff of CASA to hand out fliers for employment to a nearby neighborhood in order to help new immigrants find a job. Composite team three went back to Clagett farm to plant rows of zucchini, tomatoes and lettuce. They learned more about the workers and the work that they do on the farm. Unfortunately, they could not pay another visit to the sheep, but they made it up with a well deserved trip to Burrito Brothers. Finally, composite team one, which ended up being the normal team one, got to venture onto the renowned public transportation of the DC metro system and work at DC Central Kitchen. They spent the day chopping vegetables and making cabbage puns. When they finally did leaf ;) they took a trip to the Botanical Gardens and Holocaust Museum.
We got a special treat tonight after the marvelous dinner prepared by team one. The care packages were distributed, which led to a bean boozled battle of the taste buds. Brave mission trippers volunteered to risk the barf jelly bean for hilarious laughs for all.
All, in all, it was an amazing day full of sunny skies, deep conversations, and jelly beans.
Another great day at Clagett Farm
Serving at DC Central Kitchen - a favorite from our last mission trip to DC!
