The first day of Stay2Serve 2014 was stressful, we were running scattered to get everything together for our first day of camp. We had met several kids the day before that had said they were gonna be at camp. 3pm came, it was time for camp to start and we had no one, zero kids from the community here. I was a little panicked, we sent half the students and volunteers over to the apartment complexes to remind the kids that we had camp for them. As soon as our students rounded the corner out of my visibility a flood of kids came running from the apartments, they raced across the street and immediately attached to our students as their friends. The next day we didn't need to remind them, by 2:30 we had most of the same students waiting to jump in, wanting to help set up whatever we were doing, begging to spend time with their new friends, our students. These 3 days matter, the love that the SecondStory students share with their neighbors last.
