It was cool seeing an entire warehouse dedicated to sending books to knowledge-impoverished countries, especially a few countries on the east side of Africa that actually had dictators that destroyed some books in the 70s. The staff also seemed very passionate about books and, well, all the knowledge and critical thinking that they grow and which we in America take for granted. As for what we did, we just sorted the books into grade levels and topics.

It was cool seeing all the stuff that would go to needy families and helping sort through it. It was especially good as they mentioned that they had a large decrease of volunteers during COVID and really needed to get some things done that they weren't able to do.
It was cool to get a behind the scenes tour and just see all the animals as we cleaned up places/stained benches.
The garden was very pretty and we felt great for weeding the last main section of English Ivy on the property.
It was hard work but I had fun and my group did a lot
for the garden. Felt like we made a difference.
