Office Hours at Place of Comfort

I just got back from volunteering at Place of Comfort. It was quite a long day. We were kept busy with a lot of office work and cleaning. We made a ton of phone calls informing people about the upcoming fall festival. At one point, I was instucted to give a survey to one of their clients over the phone. I had to ask whether the person was HIV +/-. I even told Travis before I got to the question that I was nervous about asking it. Yet, when I finally did, the client answered like it was no big deal. In addition, throughout the day (for confidentiality purposes I'll call her Mrs. P) Mrs. P was very straightforward about her HIV + status, and told us about her struggles with the illness. She wanted to make sure that we left our service learning environment with some type of new knowledge from the experience. She informed us about each client who came in and out of the door, and what his/her struggles were. She also had us look up "Faces of Crystal Meth" online (you guys should google it, it's pretty crazy) and she showed us what crystal meth can do to you... it's not pretty. Although the office work was a bit tedious, we learned a lot from the information Mrs. P provided us.
