- Peace, Love and Happiness,
Adam
Yesterday we had a big meeting with all of the social service agencies in town. This will enable us to help the youth we are talking with to get help with people who are trained in that field of interest. Although I don’t have the resources to aid a child in finding a home or getting a job, to help them out of an addiction or abusive situation, I now know where I can bring them, and someone who cares will be able to get them the help they need. It was exciting to see all of the organizations connecting and networking, so that rather than working in competition they can work as a team for the greater good of these teens, to give them hope in Fort McMurray, where it sometimes seems very dark. Already we’ve encountered numerous teens who are couch hopping, who are doing drugs because they’re “bored”. Hopefully this summer we can give them the opportunity and tools to enjoy a healthy lifestyle and have some fun! I’m excited to see where this summer will take us.
