Advent [4] Project AIM - LowerLights






For a few months the students at GCCS have been going to the Bellow's Ave. Church of the Nazarene to help with their Project AIM - an initiative that works to offer counseling, resources, and support to the community without the restrictive "red tape" of government agencies. Our students bring food, serve breakfast, and then hang out with the kids for an hour or so, while the adults meet to discuss the issues and problems they face every day. It's a great time for the students to just play with kids from the neighborhood, and since we have been going for several months now, they are seeing some of the same kids.




Here's a link to the latest pictures, posted on facebook. I'm so proud of my students for volunteering on a Saturday morning and the staff and community at GCCS for all pitching in. I was disappointed I couldn't go today, but it is awesome to see what a great time they had. Baking cookies together, coloring Christmas pictures, and just loving kids - feels like Christmas to me.
