Day of Caring - October 4

This year the fellows participated in Centre County Day of Caring. Half of the group went with Talat and Leila to paint the Woman's Resource Center apartments in State College. The rest of the group helped Jane paint the playground equipment and replace the liner and mulch under the swings at Port Matilda Community Park. Painting is not mentioned on the fellows original application to the Humphrey Program BUT they should have put this on as a very useful skill!
Since the Port Matilda Group was near Jane's home, she took them on a tour of the farmland and nearby horse farm.
Volunteer - The fellows do not stop with Day of Caring - Sitti Khadijah and Tran Tran joined the College of Education's Cycle thon - as volunteers.
