Senior Project Hours (backlogging)

I forgot to log this earlier, but I volunteered with Habitat for Humanity on Saturday, February 23rd from 9:00am to 12:00pm (for a total of 3 hours). This day was a "Park Beautification  Day", which happens every 3rd Saturday of the month. We worked at a park called Youngblood Coleman Park in the Bayview of San Francisco. We arrived at around 8:45am and met up with organizers and other volunteers that were  there to work with Habitat for Humanity. We learned that it was the  birthday of one of the coordinators, and that the majority of the people there were volunteering as her birthday request. My mother signed up and also volunteered with me and worked alongside me throughout the day. The main work was moving branches that were already cut from bushes and trees and moving them to a designated are so they could later be picked up by a truck. We also cleaned up litter and leaves, which made my mother worrisome because other people were finding a lot of needles. I got to talk briefly with the woman whose birthday it was, and she was very kind. After the volunteering session was over, lunch was provided (sandwiches, veggies, and chips).
