this completely hilarious picture was taken last night at our first "real" gathering of students and tutors at St. Mary's in Dorchester (St. Mary's is where we had our recent ReadRetreatServe and with whom Sojourn has been developing a partnership over the last year). St. Mary's has been a focal launch point for Episcopal City Tutoring. our students at UMASS-Boston have jumped on this program and are helping run a supplemental aspect of the tutoring curriculum over the next ten weeks.
this has been a long time coming for us and it is encouraging to see these UMASS students stick around long enough to see their faithfulness and hard work rewarded. i am also really impressed with the high school students we get to work with (two of whom you can see on the right...the others bailed on the picture!). these are some driven, hard working, ambitious young people!!
it's going to be exciting to watch this develop and I am eager to see this great group of people work together (although it is pretty clear we struggle to make a good picture happen).
