Alexandria House

I started going to Alexandria house in September and I would only go once a week on Thursdays from three in the afternoon and leave at nine in the night. I kept going every week. At this point I had already exceeded the hours I was supposed to do for my assignment I love going there so much that I did more than forty hours. I was not keeping track until the end and that is how I know.

I remember the first time I arrived to the house; as soon as I walked in the house I started working. Michelle, who is the coordinator for the after school and youth program, she right away gave me a task. The house is always filled with positive energy from both the children and volunteers. It is such a good working environment, despite the fact that most of the people are in the house are of low requisites. They have been open little more then ten years now and the house has been remodeled trying to fit people’s facilities.

I have become so attached with the children that I want to keep going there whenever I have time. I love seeing children grow mentally and physically because it shows me how much progress that have done. I feel that I have helped the children of Alexandria house with their school work and even just by being a real friend. I will never forget opening my heart and harms to Alexandria House, it is one of the best thing have I have encountered in my life.
