Unfortunately, the plan did not work out, as I had to be 18 years or older to be able to volunteer, or I had to schedule a date to go, rather than being a walk-in volunteer place. Me and Lily were talking about the project and realized that neither of our plans had worked in our favor, so we decided to work together.]]> 2021-06-12 22:23:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cthuynh104/vjmfxbygada7r4oj/wish/1602849113 cthuynh104 https://padlet.com/cthuynh104/vjmfxbygada7r4oj/wish/1602852676 This is the 6 of the 8 available zoom meetings hosted on the following dates.

All I could think in that very moment was how very close I had come to not getting here, to missing this moment."

Lily and I could both relate to this because 10 minutes before the zoom meeting, we agreed to visit the Encircle website to see what other opportunities there were that we were able to join.]]> 2021-06-12 23:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cthuynh104/vjmfxbygada7r4oj/wish/1602881103 cthuynh104 https://padlet.com/cthuynh104/vjmfxbygada7r4oj/wish/1602881167 "Still, I made sure to point out that particular line to everyone I knew. 'An orphanage in Nepal, for two months,' I would tell woman I'd met in bars. 'Sure, there's a civil war going on. And yes, it might be dangerous. But I can't think about that,' I would shout over that noise of the bar, trying to appear misty-eyed. I have to think about the children."

Although we only joined for one meeting for the project, it was really nice and social to talk to other people of the Encircle Online community. Our moderator had us fill out a survey at the end of the meeting and at the end of the survey was an optional fill-out section to put our thoughts about Encircle. For an hour with only 6 other participants, it was very social and enjoyable for the both of us. So of course, I put that I would definitely have to join another meeting, another Tuesday. ]]> 2021-06-12 23:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cthuynh104/vjmfxbygada7r4oj/wish/1602887124
