Hands On Tuesday



Tuesday Night the group played "The Game Of Life" Envelopes, consisting of a name tag and fake money, were handed out to each player and they were told to "succeed". The game simulated the daily struggles of people from differing socio-economic, gender, and race backgrounds.


Players lined up at different instituions trying to obtain jobs, money, material goods, and educations.



Craig was lucky, while everyone else was struggling to succeed money seemed to fall on him out of the sky.




During the day Brian decided to draw a representation of Carl's rabbit riding habbit. I thought it was great!





























Hands On participants have the opportunity to leave daily reflections on the cork board upstairs.





The Green team continued to work on a Deaf Woman's home and in keeping with the youth tradition, they too were covered in paint!





When Brian isn't drawing on paper he spends his time painting on walls! The Blue team worked very hard to prepare the walls in their home for paneling. They spent more time preparing and cleaning then it will probably take to apply the paneling. They are really making a difference for the Deaf man who lives there. Tom cut the paneling while John and Brian helped.It seems as though the participants and the Deaf community are all having a great time!
