In VAMT we have been asked to paint the inside of the Community Living Centre. The centre is home to various programs, that one wouldn't think really go together, but all somehow come together under the same roof. Programs included are:
1) Ankors - A place for teens to hang out, get free birth control and advise about sex. Questions Asked. Answers given.
2) Better Babies - For families that may not have the knowledge, or items needed to help grow a healthy and happy child.
3) Needle Exchange - For drug addicts. Its to help stop the transfer of diseases ect. They come in, drop off a needle, and get a clean one. Before you say that's disgusting, wouldn't you rather that, then a random child picking up an infected needle off the street?
The programs stated above are programs that run 8-4 everyday, but there are offices for other programs there such as "Go Girls", a youth mentoring program, that connects high school girls, with middle schoolers. "Big Brothers and Sisters", and "CAP C", to name a few. It is very rare you see all of the programs come together under one roof, and I feel honored to be given the chance to make my mark in that building.
