From Haven:

Liz and I went to the Windsor shelter today and we helped with the childcare. They have a very nice set-up for the 0-6 year olds. The women who are staffing the center are very concerned about keeping everything clean and organized and they’re doing a great job. They were able to get their little daycare set up nicely in the just the past few days, thanks to a lot of dedicated volunteers and many kind donations. We are now helping out by doing musical performances for the children. We also spent some time in the other childcare area playing with the 5-8 year olds. The department that cares for the children also told us that we could bring in our guitars and sing with the kids. We’re very thankful for a way to be able to share some happiness with these kids. Most of them seem to be enjoying themselves in the play area that the shelter has set up for them, and the kids are quite happy and energetic and responded well to the attention we’ve given them.
