5. Email from Donna Mae: Hello Ashley, I'm so glad I was able to make the presentations on-time, after an unexpected stop on the way. Your students seemed engaged, I was so very impressed. I really hope I can hear from them down the road to see if they continue to have concerns for the Homeless in our town. You should know that I was surprised to learn how many people knew of a person homeless. La Plata Youth Services wants a count the last week of October. If you and your students could survey other students to take a Point In Time Study, let me know. I'll have LPYS contact you with the questions to ask in the short survey. Thought you could share this with your students of the Humanitarian House insulated tubular PVCTent. The hard tent adjusts for number of occupants: sm (one or two); med (two to three); large (family). It can be adjusted for a common building for showers, bathrooms.

Quote of the day/project???“Do you want to remain only in your own perspective? Evaluating the world only through your own perspective? It comes to relationships. How do we change relationship to place? How do we expand what we know? And how do we know what we know? We need to be willing to be uncomfortable to take a risk, reading more wildly, widely.” -Unknown Unique perspective on homelessnessAgenda
