This week, I have called the Manna Soup Kitchen and continued my research. From my conversation with the director of the Soup Kitchen, I have decided that I am going to choose a different mentor. This is because the Soup Kitchen already a full schedule so there are not many opportunities for me there. Also, I learned from the director that a lot of homeless people do not wan too be interviewed. Although this was not my original plan, I want to make it clear to them that I don't want to make them share about how they got where they are now necessarily, but rather just talk about everything else going on in life. I want to reevaluate my project idea and possibly change it to going and personally being with some people downtown on the streets. As I said, I have another person's number to call about a mentor which is my next step.
