On Saturday, October 1st, our group met with the Community Coordinator from Boys and Girls Town. We spent about thirty minutes or so going over some of the formalities and taking pictures for our identification cards that we will be using while on the Boys and Girls Town campus. Judy, the coordinator, explained to us that one of the houses on campus currently had no organizations or sponsors working with them. The house in question is the Jones Cottage, composed primarily of boys age 13 to 16.
One week after orientation we spent our first day with the boys that we would be spending the rest of the year with. While there were some minor behavioral problems, it was nothing out of the ordinary for even exceptionally well-behaved adolescents on an off day. We enjoyed an afternoon of two-hand-touch football with the cottage supervisor and the Jones boys. I'm afraid to say that my team lost, but I look forward to a rematch in the near future.
