Pax Christi and Pancakes

Well today saw a further development in the world of wonder that is Collier high school.
I along with my fellow volunteers was asked to cook breakfast for a number of young people in periods 2, 3, 5 and 6.
Now ok, periods 2 and 3 are in the a.m. but periods 5 and 6 are after lunch. Some of you reading this may already know how much of a stickler for the rules when it comes to the miss appropriation of meal names but i got over this.
So Miss Dodgson and I went to period 6 to make breakfast for the science student in the class, we made pancakes and bacon- it was a delight and delightful. I obviously don’t need to highlight the scientific importance of making bacon in the classroom as a informative and nutritional means of highlighting the everyday importance of chemistry and chemical bonds in all aspects of life not least at breakfast.
A lot of pancake mix and bacon was left over- this is good news in the life of a volunteer as it can mean one of two things-
1. We get left overs
2. we get left overs
So we got left overs, and had breakfast for dinner-YEAH




After dinner we went to a Pax Christi prayer Vigil for Immigrants with Sr Debbie and Sr Carol and Meg who works at the school and was a former volunteer. It was really good and brought to mind a lot of the reasons why I am here: to serve people who are on the fringes of society , and to bring Christ to all who I meet especially those who don’t get a chance at doing the things that I can do and take for granted.

It also reminded me of lots of my friends in the Olde Country who I miss and have learnt so much from over the last few years and longer.
