Students from Georgetown Day School volunteered at Samaritan Inns last week as part of their service learning project. The 9th Graders planed, prepared and shared a lunch fellowship with our residents in the IR. While half the students were cooking, the other half participated in an expressive arts project led by Roslyn Delos Reyes, Community Arts Programer for Arlington County.
The students and residents learned how to make journals, an express outlet for thoughts and feelings during the challenging 28 day period. Journaling is an important part of the recovery process and we wanted to share this experience with our volunteers, who hopefully went home with a greater sense of the reality of substance abuse, and a journal to write in.
Thank you to our wonderful volunteers from Georgetown Day School!
