Wednesday saw us travel to Winnipeg where we went to the MCC office. This is where the Ten Thousand Village's is located. We spent some time learning about the history of MCC and the work they do in the world. One of the things that stand out for me was looking at a list of things and decide if they were something we needed to have, would be nice to have or not necessary at all. It was interesting to see how many things we have that for many people in the world would be considered as unnecessary.
We were able to finish off the morning packing bags with basic school supplies that would be going to refugee camps. These are students that because of war in their homeland had to flee for their own safety.
Due to how the scheduling of the Mission Sites went, the afternoon today was where nothing was booked. We had reservations at the Old Spaghetti Factory. From the sounds coming from the tables, people were enjoying themselves as their was a lot of conversation and laughter. Some students brought their skates and were able to go skating (unfortunately the river trail was closed) and walk around at The Forks.
