A second group went to a place called Baby Buggy on Tuesday. We were greeted by a huge pile of children's clothes and a very friendly person instructed us to sort the clothing by size and by quality. It was very adorable. We were shown a brief film about all of the families that would benefit from the program. Some 5,000 families per month! Worn out and tired, but wanting to take advantage of  being right around the corner from time square, we went exploring. It was hot and crowded but very exciting. We didn't need to stay long though, so we travelled back to YSOP headquarters. We were early so we entertained ourselves with a spirited game of Apples to Apples. Once all of the group's were reunited, we started cooking for a nice little "dinner party" with some local homeless people. Amidst the cooking was a fabulous soundtrack of the youth groups joining together and performing songs from the amazing musical Rent. When our guests arrived, we sat down with them and had some very honest and heartfelt conversations. Checkers, Dominos, Jenga, and other games were also played at this time. Now we are back at the church, and I am tired so my writing is probably a mess. Signing off- Shannon Plankey 10:44pm
