This week has been full of service. We were lucky enough to have two groups of service-minded students beautiful our property, and participate in a lunch fellowship with our residents.
On Tuesday, Georgetown University Law students help beautified our Elisha House property. They pulled weeds, trimmed bushes and pulled out some unruly ivy. Through the process, the future lawyers became quite oriented with our organization and all the men and women we serve annually. Some students even offering pro bono work for our residents once they pass the bar!
On Thursday, American University's Freshman Experience students participated in a lunch fellowship and an expressive arts project with our residents in the IR. The students and residents learned how to make Frank Loyd Wright inspired stain glass windows, thanks to the very creative Roslyn Delos Reyes, Community Arts Programmer for Arlington County. Conversation was flowed naturally between the students and residents, as they shared stories and mod podged their projects.
Thank you to all the students that volunteered this week! We hope you enjoyed your time at Samaritan Inns and learned about the addicted and homeless population in DC. You are welcome back anytime!
