Hope House

I am a part of a group called Article 13 which is a group of girls that do all they can to abolish human trafficking. We do fundraising, volunteer work, and educate others on the dangers of human trafficking.  Two weekends ago we went to a place called Hope House which is being built to be a shelter for victims of trafficking to help them get back on their feet. Two friends of mine and I went to volunteer at Hope House. We were prepared to do whatever they needed us to do and we got the extremely exciting job of scraping paint off of the sides of the windows. We were there for 5 hours and we got through 24ish windows. It took a while to get the hang of it because none of us knew what we were doing. We tried so many methods until we found the easiest one and by the time we found the easiest one we only had 4 windows left. It was a good experience and now I know how to scrape paint off of windows. It felt really nice to give back to my community and help with Hope House.
