We have begun our Third Round Project here in Vicksburg with the United Way and 9 other agencies in the area. We are working on several different small projects over the next 2 weeks in order to improve the infrastructure of the buildings the nonprofits are working in. On Monday we volunteered as a whole campus for the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and worked with these same organizations.
Over the last few days we have shampooed carpets, painted walls, scraped paint, pulled wallpaper, painted a sign, and other small organizational and cleaning tasks. It has been pretty relaxed and not a lot of work, but I am enjoying staying on campus. It is nice to make a local impact in this community, and get to know the services that the nonprofits in Vicksburg provide.
Other than that, I have been finishing up Graduate School applications and looking for a job for the summer time. I will update when we get to Noxubee for our fire project!
