I am still suffering with chosing a project. Last night I spoke with Doug and he offered a great direction for me to follow........but, today I learned that my blogging and presenting this particular volunteer project wasn't well received by the host organization. I've been a volunteer at Hope House for several years and management staff has concerns whether clients want their stuggles with HIV/AIDS described and blogged about! I offered to be discreet and focus on how this wonderful place came to be! In some ways that's a bit unfair because I've been around for awhile and already really know the history of its inception, how it works, how it fund raises and why. For those of you not familiar with Hope House, it is a daycare facility for children who are HIV positive. We care for kids from infancy to five or six depending on the child and their diseae state. We offer homework help and after-school care for elementary aged kids and resources for parents and families struggling with not only HIV/AIDS but the whole social services' nightmare that accomompanies such a struggle.
I am on to a new path. What will it be? I'm going to decide tomorrow!
