Walter
Today a man named walter came into our intersession and talked about how he had to flee from his native country of Uganda-twice! He told us about how he lost one of his sons, thankfully the other two and his wife all survived. Since I am in the Immagration and Refugee Rights group this really effected our group.

Op. peace love and harmony day 5
Today was day five of our intersession, today we went and stood outside of stores and had a diaper drive! We were split up and my group consisted of Samantha, Adam, Nilo, and Jack, we walked to VONS about a block away from our school. We had a lot of fun because we were there for to hours.
I felt happy after doing the diaper drive I felt like I really made a difference considering how many people we got to donate.

Today we went on our first field trip. Half of the class went to Saint Vincent de Pauls and the other half (me included) went to a landfill.
At the landfill we got a tour of the whole facility, and it is a BIG facility. We saw the trash, recycling (wood, plants, mulch, ect.), hazardous waste and recycling (paper, glass, cardboard, ect.)places. At the landfill I learned that San Diego produces the most trash per day, in the whole world!!!
