It's the end of my fourth week of interning here at Lancaster (we only work four-day weeks, so Thursdays are our Fridays...howdah!), and it's been another good one. I spent the first part of the week mainly working on a poverty curriculum that HOPE is producing for small groups. The curriculum has been written, and my job is to help edit it. This involves some research, so I get to read snippets from really interesting books like Walking with the Poor, as well, of course, as doing some digging in the Bible to make sure we're backing up what we say.
The end of my week involved helping to fill out some webpages that we're doing for Homes for Hope (H4H). H4H is a nonprofit that provides funding for HOPE through partners in the homebuilding industry who donate the proceeds from homes that they've built. It's a really neat program, because many of the subcontractors and suppliers also donate or discount their services. And it was a good switch from writing and editing work, because I had the instant gratification of seeing what I'd done in the web software become an actual web page. Of course, it was also frustrating at times, but at least I had the software to blame instead of my own writing.
Tomorrow (or, most likely, today by the time I finish this post) I'll be working at a farmer's market over closer to Philly. One of the people who works at HOPE knows the guy who owns the stand, so he's worked it out for a couple of us to work there Fridays over the summer. I'm heading out before 6 in the morning and getting back close to 11 at night, so it'll definitely be a full day, but I'm really looking forward to it. Potentially, I'll have awkward stories next post about my first experience trying to sell produce. But on that note, I'd better get to bed so that I'm not too sleep deprived my first day on the job. Good night everyone!
